Abstract
This article presents experimental studies of the planing motion of an axisymmetric cylindrical body along the surface of a cavity formed behind an axisymmetric cavitator at some angle of attack. The main focus is on the analysis of processes of interaction between the planing body and cavity surfaces. It also develops methods for determining the forces and cavity shape in the interaction zone and behind the planing surface. A number of issues related to supercavitating motion at shallow depth are investigated for moderate Froude numbers under conditions of non-negligible gravity effect.
