A beginning of cavity sheet B and B are numerical results. The cycle start when a cavity
sheet appears close to leading edge at (a), then a generated
(a) reentrant-jet moves from trailing edge to leading edge in the
opposite direction of main flow at points (b)-(c), and there is
a separation of a group of bubbles from the cavity sheet as
(b) shown in (d).
Fig. 7 shows the last part of break-off cycle, when the cavity

Main flow sheet transform to group of bubbles with circular motion in
(e) as in press [17], and restarting a new cycle due to the
occurrence of another cavity (f).
(c) Fig. 8 gives information about the velocity field and the
effects of reentrant-jet when is 0.0.126, it is observed that
reentrant-jet and main flow velocities are opposite directions,
(d) so that, the cavity sheet separated from the surface of hydrofoil
because reentrant-jet effects. Because the velocity direction the
bubbles get a circular motion.
