...Ignacijo Biluš; Marko Hočevar; Matevž Dular; Luka Lešnik Numerical prediction of cavitation erosion is a great scientific and technological challenge. In the past, many attempts were made—many successful. One of the issues when a comparison between a simulation and erosion experiments is made...

...Masoud Khojasteh-Manesh; Miralam Mahdi In the present study, cavitation erosion is investigated by implementing an Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. Three-dimensional two-phase flow is simulated in a microscale nozzle using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) solver along with realizable k − ε...

... with a hole bored through it. The aggressive intensity of the jet was estimated by the erosion suffered by pure aluminum test specimens. The parameters varied were the bore diameter, D, and length, L, the standoff distance, the nozzle throat diameter, d, and the upstream and downstream pressures of the nozzle...

...P. Frawley; A. P. O’Mahony; M. Geron From a review of technical literature, it was not apparent if the Lagrangian or the Eulerian dispersed phase modeling approach was more valid to simulate dilute erosive slurry flow. In this study, both modeling approaches were employed and a comparative analysis...

... generation, growth, and collapse, at the various cavitation numbers, was recorded using high-speed photography. To optimize the process parameters, a simple erosion test was performed in aluminum alloy, AA 6063-T6, specimens. The impact pressure generated during the implosion of cavitation bubbles causes...

...Xavier Escaler; Mohamed Farhat; Eduard Egusquiza; François Avellan An experimental work has been carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior and the intensity of erosive partial cavitation on a 2-D hydrofoil. Both sheet (stable) and cloud (unstable) cavitation have been tested in a cavitation...

...N. Berchiche; J. P. Franc; J. M. Michel An analytical model is proposed for the prediction of cavitation erosion of ductile materials. It is based upon a physical analysis of the work-hardening process due to the successive bubble collapses. The material is characterized by its classical stress...
