Abstract

Cavitation erosion would degrade the performance of the fluid machinery. To improve the reliability and prolong the life span of fluid machinery, it is necessary to study the mechanism of cavitation erosion and predict the possibility of erosion. Since the erosion power to be measured and calculated is closer to the actual state of cavitation, a new cavitation erosion indicator e_pp model based on erosion power is proposed, which can reflect the size and region of the erosion generated by cavitation more precisely. Concerning the cases of the axisymmetric nozzle and venturi tube, the prediction of cavitation erosion based on the newly proposed indicator is illustrated. It is found that cavitation erosion mainly occurs near the maximum margin of the cavitation region. This research indicates the possible erosion state of fluid machinery in a cavitation environment and provides a new approach to estimate the state of cavitation erosion.

期刊介绍： The International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids publishes refereed papers describing significant developments in computational methods that are applicable to scientific and engineering problems in fluid mechanics, fluid dynamics, micro and bio fluidics, and fluid-structure interaction. Numerical methods for solving ancillary equations, such as transport and advection and diffusion, are also relevant. The Editors encourage contributions in the areas of multi-physics, multi-disciplinary and multi-scale problems involving fluid subsystems, verification and validation, uncertainty quantification, and model reduction. Numerical examples that illustrate the described methods or their accuracy are in general expected. Discussions of papers already in print are also considered. However, papers dealing strictly with applications of existing methods or dealing with areas of research that are not deemed to be cutting edge by the Editors will not be considered for review. The journal publishes full-length papers, which should normally be less than 25 journal pages in length. Two-part papers are discouraged unless considered necessary by the Editors.
