In this study, a linearized super-cavitation theory was applied in order to analyse the performance of the 2-dimensional foils. For flat plate with non-thickness, the numerical results correlated very well with Nishiyama's theoretical results for closed cavitation model. For plano-convex section, the numerical results correlated very well with Wade's experimental data. The new lifting surface procedure, developed and validated in this study, is generally considered applicable to the performance analyses of the super-cavitating propeller and trans-cavitating propeller.
