The Philosophy

• Find and address the common denominator of current issues related to cavitation and the performance of high-speed propulsors

• Address basic and applied research in parallel

• Provide the designer with useful, reliable, and user friendly computational tools

• Be systematic in the validation of analysis methods (validate numerics first , then compare with experiments involving simple geometries and flow conditions, and finally compare against more complex experiments)

• Develop versatile rigorous design methods in which current improvements on modeling can be readily incorporated
