Abstract
A brief overview of hydrofoil test considerations and some of the capabilities within the Cavitation Research
Laboratory at the Australian Maritime College are presented. Hydrofoil testing is fundamental to naval
hydrodynamic research in support of control surface testing and assessment for ships and submarines. A case
study is presented which considers the effects of water tunnel test section boundary layer thickness, hydrofoil
mounting configuration and other parameters on hydrofoil performance. Methods for measurement of the
effect of steady and unsteady loads on hydrofoil performance are also demonstrated and the issues of model
and force balance compliance are discussed.
