Supercavitating Projectile
Projectile (brass-coloured bullet) travelling through the water in a bubble of its own creation. The flattened nose creates areas of very low pressure that result in bubbles (cavities). When these merge into a bubble that encloses the projectile, it is called supercavitation. The supercavity is shown in vertical cross-section. Larger objects can use supercavitation, too, but they have to augment the pressure drop with gas expelled at the nose (e.g. rocket powered torpedos).

Optimal Launch Angle 45 degrees1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00Simulation showing how the launch angle influences the range of a projectile. The maximum horizontal distance or range is achieved when the launch angle is 45 degrees. You can try this out with a hose and notice how the water goes furthest when the noz...PT10Shttps://d3e1m60ptf1oym.cloudfront.net/3a4ac418-1f64-4002-b5a6-e0d02c38b39d/maximum-range-projectile-Russell-KIghtley_xlarge.jpghttps://d3e1m60ptf1oym.cloudfront.net/3a4ac418-1f64-4002-b5a6-e0d02c38b39d/maximum-range-projectile-Russell-KIghtley_mp4_hd_video.mp4https://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/war/-/medias/3a4ac418-1f64-4002-b5a6-e0d02c38b39d/pricehttps://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/war/-/medias/3a4ac418-1f64-4002-b5a6-e0d02c38b39d/price
