... Cavitation inception behind an axissymmetric body driven by a waterjet has been studied experimentally and numerically. Water tunnel tests have been performed with the body mounted on a force balance. The transom of the body contained a nozzle located along the centerline. Tests were carried out...

... in laboratory and cavitation inception and its development were captured by a high speed camera. Then this cavitation regime around the wedge was studied numerically. In these cases CFD code was developed to simulate the unsteady and incompressible flow based on finite volume, 2D transient, with different...

.... In this study, the mechanisms of cavitation inception are investigated with emphasis on the role of air content in water. As a result, it is shown that nuclei in water increase with air content when the water is supersaturated with air by depressurization. This was proved by experiments both in atmospheric...

..., this velocity scaling relation is confirmed very well by the results of WHU and BI. On the other side all results do show a distinct size scale effect and confirm the size scaling relation. cavitation inception scale effects water quality comparison tests 2003 ASME Fluids Engineering Division Summer...

... which controls the cavitation inception point has been made clear though various methods were proposed to measure the nuclei concentration. Cavitation susceptibility meter using a small venturi tube is also one of the methods to measure the nuclei concentration. It is pointed out that this method can...

... 05 02 2009 The aim of this work is to demonstrate the significant influence of liquid property on cavitation inception. The experimental results were obtained on two different test rigs, one with an axial test pump (n S = 180 min −1 in European Units or 9000 min −1 in US Units...
