Cavitating flows around axisymetric bodies are studied with a non-linear model, based of surface singularity distributions. The method we use consists in applying a gradient minimisation procedure, to a mixed surface distribution of sources and vortices on elements in shape of troncated cones. The adaptability of such a method allows to take into consideration, simultaneously the head and rear-cavities, including gravity effect. In spite of its instationary and diphasic nature, the cavities closure area is modelised by a displacement thickness ; the many different possibilities this method gives justifies its use, particularly for the study of average pressures.

The comparison between what the mode! provides and experimental measurements is good : the mode! seems to be realistic and the computed pressure distributions can be considered as valid.
