This study examines the influence of geometry on the internal flow and macroscopic behavior of the spray in Diesel nozzles. For this investigation, two bi-orifice nozzles were employed: one cylindrical and one conical. The first step is to use a non-destructive characterization method which is based on the production of silicone moulds so that the precise internal geometry of the two nozzles can be measured. At this stage the nozzles have been characterized dimensionally and therefore the internal flow can be studied using CFD calculations. The results gained from this experiment make it possible also to ascertain the critical cavitation conditions. Once the critical cavitation conditions have been identified, the macroscopic parameters of the spray can be studied in both cavitating and non-cavitating conditions using a test rig pressurized with nitrogen and with the help of a image acquisition system and image processing software. Consequently, research can be carried out to determine the influence that cavitation has on macroscopic spray behavior. From the point of view of the spray macroscopic behavior, the main conclusion of the paper is that cavitation leads to an increment of the spray cone angle. On the other hand, from the point of view of the internal flow, the hole outlet velocity increases when cavitation appears. This phenomenon can be explained by the reduction in the cross section of the liquid phase in the outlet section of the hole.

The computational studies on the cavitating flow around a turbopump inducer were performed to see the effect of the cavitation on the performance of the inducer. The development of cavities around the inducer blades and the head drop of the inducer are observed as the inlet pressure reduces. The change of the backflow at the inducer inlet is also observed with the development of the cavities. The size of the backflow reduces as the inlet pressure is reduced due to the development of the cavities around the blades. The predicted suction performances of the inducer were compared with the experimental results. The results show that the computations overestimate the suction performances of the inducer than the experiments.

The Rayleigh Plesset based cavitation model(Singhal et al., 2002) is reproduced through a pressure-based finite-volume numerical method using unstructured hexagonal mesh, which is developed by the author. In the process of reproduction, a mass conservation problem by the large density changes associated with phase change, which wasn't mentioned by them, has been exposed. One resolution about it is proposed and then cavitating flow characteristics around a hydrofoil (NACA66) for evaluation of the code are investigated. The computational results are verified by the comparison with the experimental results and show good agreements with them.

Cavitation on an axi-symmetric hemispherical head-form body was studied using an Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations solver based on a cell-centered finite volume method. To consider compressibility effects on the vapor phase and cavity interface, a pressure-based compressible flow CFD code was developed. To validate the developed CFD code, cavitating flow around the hemispherical head-form body was simulated using pressure-based incompressible and compressible CFD codes and validated against existing experimental data in the three-way comparison. The cavity shedding behavior, length of re-entrant jet, drag history, and Strouhal number of the hemispherical head-form body were compared between two CFD codes. The results, in this paper, suggested that the computations of cavitating flow with compressibility effects improve the description of cavity dynamics.

The major source of noise in the process of transporting liquids is related to the cavitation phenomenon. The control valve noise is mostly dominated by bubble dynamics under cavitating conditions. In this investigation, an orifice configuration is set-up to correlate its flow-field and acoustic signatures with those from a control valve device. The performance and noise characteristics form the orifice configuration in anechoic surroundings were measured to reveal the noise sources depending on pressure differences across the orifice configuration. The sound powers from the orifice configuration are effectively normalized using proposed scaling parameters. Flow-excited dynamic systems for which there is no strong coupling between the flow and the system response can be described using a linear source-filter model. On this assumption, the normalized sound powers can be decomposed of noise source function and a response function. To find noise sources, pressure spectra measured over a range of pressure differences are transformed into the product of two non-dimensional frequency function : $P_{ss}(He,f_{ca},x/D) = F(f_{ca})\;G(He,x/D)$. This scheme of finding noise sources is shown to be applicable to the cavitation noise from the control valve effectively Two kinds of cavitating modes based on our experimental data are found and discussed.

A preconditioned numerical method for gas-liquid to-phase flow is applied to solve cavitating flow. The present method employs a density based finite-difference method of dual time-stepping integration procedure and Roe's flux difference splitting approximation with MUSCL-TVD scheme. A homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model is used. The method permits simple treatment of the whole gas-liquid two-phase flow field including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristics at low Mach number. By this method, two-dimensional internal flows through a venturi tuve and decelerating cascades are computed and discussed.

Cavitating flow is usually formed on the surface of a high speed underwater object. When a object moves near a free surface at very high speed, the cavity signature becomes one of the major factors to be overcome by sensors of military satellite. The present work was to study the free surface effect on the ventilated cavitation. The governing equations were Navier-Stokes equations based on a homogeneous mixture model. The multiphase flow solver used an implicit preconditioning method in the curvilinear coordinate system. The cavitation model used here was the one first presented by Merkle et al.(2006) and redeveloped by Park & Ha(2009). Computations considered the free surface effects were carried out with a NACA0012 hydrofoil and the corresponding results were compared with the experimental data to have a good agreement. Calculations were then performed considering the ventilated cavitation, including the effect of non-condensable gas under the free surface effects.

The cavitation erosion remains an industrial issue for many applications. This paper deals with the cavitation intensity, which can be described as the fluid mechanical loading leading to cavitation damage. The estimation of this quantity is a challenging problem both in terms of modeling the cavitating flow and predicting the erosion due to cavitation. For this purpose, a numerical methodology was proposed to estimate cavitation intensity from 3D unsteady cavitating flow simulations. CFD calculations were carried out using Code_Saturne, which enables U-RANS equations resolution for a homogeneous fluid mixture using the Merkle's model, coupled to a $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with the Reboud's correction. A post-process cavitation intensity prediction model was developed based on pressure and void fraction derivatives. This model is applied on a flow around a hydrofoil using different physical (inlet velocities) and numerical (meshes and time steps) parameters. The article presents the cavitation intensity model as well as the comparison of this model with experimental results. The numerical predictions of cavitation damage are in good agreement with experimental results obtained by pitting test.

본 논문에서는 양력판 이론을 사용하여 2차원 수중익에 발생한 비 대칭 초월 공동 문제를 포텐셜을 기저로하여 수치 해석하였다. 수중익과 공동 표면에 법선 다이폴을 분포하고 공동 표면에는 공동 형상을 찾기위하여 쏘오스를 분포하였다. 수중익 표면에서의 운동학적 경계조건은 수중익 내부에서의 전체 포텐셜이 0이라는 조건으로 대치하였고 공동 표면에서의 역학적 경계조건은 공동 표면에서의 접선 방향 속도가 일정하다는 조건으로 표현되었다. 표면에 특이 함수를 분포하여 포텐셜을 기저로하여 공동 문제를 해석하였기 때문에 압력 분포에 대하여, 특히 수중익의 앞날 근처에서는 양력면 이론에 의한 결과보다 더욱 향상된 정도의 결과를 얻었다. 본 이론은 먼저 주어진 공동 길이에 대하여 그에 상응하는 공동 형상 및 공동수를 구하였다. 좀더 좋은 결과를 얻기 위하여 새로이 계산된 공동 표면과 수중익 표면에 또 다시 특이 함수를 분포하여 그곳에서 경계 조건을 만족시킴으로써 새로운 공동 형상 및 공동수를 구하는 반복 계산을 수행하였다. 본 이론에 의한 계산 결과의 검증을 위하여 폭 넓은 수렴성 시험을 수행하였으며 특히, Geurst의 선형 이론에 의한 해석해 및 Wu의 비 선형 이론에 의한 해석해, 그리고 Acosta, Parkin, Meijer, Silberman, Waid의 실험 결과와 비교한 결과, 본 이론의 효용성을 입증하였다.
