摘要: A cavitation detection and control system for controlling the movement of a hydrofoil within safe, cavitation-free, acceleration speed region. The utilizes transducers, associated with propulsion apparatus foil/strut apparatus, sensing onset duration in liquid working medium adjacent to or these receiver converting sensed data into signal. An alarm device is responsive that signal so helmsman can reduce thrust operating cavitation-free storing connected receivers output retaining occurrence cavitation.
