This study investigates the effects of key geometric parameters on the hydrodynamic and cavitation characteristics of two-element hydrofoil systems for fully submerged unmanned hydrofoil craft, aiming to solve their active stabilization problems. Using STARCCM+ software, the RANS method, and the SST k-&omega: turbulence model, the research analyzes the impacts of flap deflection angle (&alpha:), main wing-to-flap chord ratio (c1/c2), and spacing (g). Results show that when the spacing is fixed, increasing the chord ratio reduces the lift and drag coefficients. When the chord ratio is fixed, increasing the spacing causes the lift and drag coefficients to first rise and then fall. With increasing flap deflection angle (&alpha:), cavitation intensifies, but it can be suppressed by increasing the chord ratio, reaching a minimum at g = 2.4%c1. The optimal configuration is c1/c2 = 1.5 and g = 2.4%c1, which can balance the lift&ndash:drag performance and anti-cavitation capability. This study provides a scientific basis for solving the active stabilization problems of fully submerged unmanned hydrofoil craft and insights for enhancing their seakeeping performance.
