    Supercavitation is a phenomenon where a rapidly moving object in a liquid, such as water, creates a bubble of gas or vapor around itself, reducing the drag and allowing it to move at much higher speeds. This effect is achieved by generating a cavity, or cavitation bubble, around the object, which essentially envelops it in a gas layer, minimizing the contact with the surrounding liquid. As part of a research project on the effects of supercavitation I achieved the following: • Modelled, in Python, the variations of muzzle velocities of projectiles fired using compressed gas powered launchers for different pressures and projectile masses, based on Classical Mechanics theories. • Trained and implemented a visual AI (Ultralytics YOLOv8) for projectile identification, tracking as well as measurement of velocity and deceleration of projectiles in water, using slow-motion videos from high speed cameras. • Designed spring launch system and elastic launching system, using Solidworks of which the elastic launcher was manufactured and implemented. • Designed a ventilating projectile using Solidworks. • Fired projectiles using a compressed gas powered system and operation of high speed cameras.
