Abstract: Supercavitation technology can significantly reduce skin-friction drag of underwater torpedo, and therefore dramatically increase the velocity and attack power of underwater weapons. Because the torpedo is almost entirely enveloped by a supercavity, the hydrodynamic problems of the high-speed supercavitating torpedo (HSST) are complex. The hydrodynamic forces acting on cavitator, fin, and the planing force along the longitude plane of the underwater HSST are analyzed. A benchmark nonlinear dynamics model of supercavitating torpedo is established based on the basic dynamic equations of the longitude plane, and the specific parameters of HSST are calculated. In the longitude plane the motion equation of HSST is a four-order dynamic coupled system with lightly-damped characteristics. Stability and the longitudinal motions of HSST are analyzed by the simulation.
