Description
Projectile (brass-coloured bullet) travelling through the water in a bubble of its own creation. The flattened nose creates areas of very low pressure that result in bubbles (cavities). When these merge into a bubble that encloses the projectile, it is called supercavitation. The supercavity is shown in a vertical cross-section. Larger objects can use supercavitation, too, but they have to augment the pressure drop with gas expelled at the nose.
