Hydrofoil Cavitation Inception Speed

This simulator predicts exactly when a hydrofoil's suction side begins to cavitate. It renders a real 3D foil whose surface is colored by local pressure margin above the water's vapor pressure, computed from the cavitation number σ = (p∞ − pv) / (½ρV²) against the foil's minimum pressure coefficient at the current angle of attack. Drag the speed, angle of attack, depth and water-temperature sliders and watch σ and C_p,min update live — the moment σ crosses below −C_p,min, vapor bubbles erupt along the leading-edge suction peak exactly where the physics says they should, and the panel reports the inception speed for the settings you've chosen.
