In the fields of hydraulic machinery, the saturated vapor pressure of clean water is often used as the pressure threshold for cavitation occurrence. However, the engineering practice has demonstrated that, the incipient cavitation pressure may be significantly higher than the saturated vapor pressure, especially in sand-laden water conditions. Therefore, to determine a reasonable cavitation pressure threshold and ensure the accurate cavitation flow simulations and effective assessment of cavitation risks for hydraulic machinery operating in sand-laden water conditions, an experimental investigation is conducted. First, a high-precision experimental setup based on the vacuum pump, high-frequency pressure sensor and high-speed camera is constructed. This setup allows for the continuous pressure reduction in water, acquisition of high-precision pressure data and tracking of the entire cavitation bubble precipitation process. Second, based on the experiments in clean water conditions, the relationship between the cavitation bubble precipitation degree and pressure is established, and two key states of incipient cavitation and boiling cavitation are defined. Third, based on the experiments in sand-laden water conditions, it is observed that the numerous cavitation nuclei on sand surfaces make both the incipient and boiling cavitation pressure in sand-laden water higher than those in clean water. The quantitative relationship between the sand concentration and diameter, and the cavitation pressure is established, providing a more reasonable cavitation pressure threshold. This investigation enhances the understanding of cavitation bubble precipitation in sand-laden water and supports the development of more accurate cavitation models for hydraulic machinery operating in sand-laden water conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"36 6","pages":"1033 - 1045"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143513368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilizes a cavitation visualization experimental system and mechanical characterization to experimentally investigate the transient cavitation features of a NACA0015 hydrofoil and its biomimetic counterparts with modified lending-edge. The findings demonstrate that, in comparison with the flat hydrofoil, the biomimetic hydrofoil experiences a cavitation morphology transition at a lower cavitation number, with a reduction of up to 0.38. Moreover, the maximum cavity length and the maximum cavitation area are reduced by 17.11%, 17.32%, signifying a reduction in cavitation intensity. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis revealed that the primary mechanism for the enhanced cavitation performance of the leading-edge wave structured biomimetic hydrofoil is the suppression of cloud cavitation shedding. At an attack angle of 6°, the biomimetic hydrofoil exhibited the highest lift coefficient increase of 18.56%, corresponding to a lift-to-drag ratio improvement of 9.56%. By analyzing the cavitation patterns of the two hydrofoils, it is evident that the rate of change in the maximum cavity length isolines for the biomimetic hydrofoil is lower than that of the flat hydrofoil. For an equivalent level of cavitation intensity, the biomimetic hydrofoil exhibits a lower cavitation number compared with the flat hydrofoil.

The dynamic and unsteady nature of vortical flows often disturbs the control of underwater robots, complicating their operation in hydrodynamic environments.

This study proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm, trained in a data-driven manner, to enable efficient navigation of a robotic fish swimming across vortical flows. Our proposed algorithm incorporates the LSTM architecture and uses several recent consecutive observations as the state to address the issue of partial observation, often due to sensor limitations. We present a numerical study of navigation within a Kármán vortex street created by placing a stationary cylinder in a uniform flow, utilizing the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM). The aim is to train the robotic fish to discover efficient navigation policies, enabling it to reach a designated target point across the Kármán vortex street from various initial positions. After training, the fish demonstrates the ability to rapidly reach the target from different initial positions, showcasing the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed algorithm.

The original bed deformation equation based on an analytical sediment transport model is used to describe the changes in the bottom surface. The proposed sediment transport equation is based on Coulomb’s friction law for granular flow, Prandtl’s friction law for turbulent flow, and agrees with a large number of phenomenological formulas by other authors. A numerical algorithm for solving the mathematical model of bed surface erosion is implemented in OpenFOAM. Numerical simulations of the problem show that under the influence of turbulent flow generated at the pipeline streamline, a characteristic bottom wave of low steepness appears, the parameters of which asymptotically agree with the experimental data. Based on the analysis of experimental and numerical studies of the considered case, an assumption about the self-similar behavior of the bed surface evolution is made. Based on this assumption, a new method of constructing the self-similar dependence of the bed surface on time and space coordinates is proposed. In the proposed approach, the average values of tangential bottom stresses are determined for a number of self-similar bottom surface shapes, and then the rates of change of bottom wave lengths and amplitudes are calculated using the proposed analytical model.

Effect of these vegetation patches on various hydraulic parameters such as backwater rise, energy reduction, water surface slope in the vegetation patch, hydraulic jump formation on the downstream side of the vegetation patch, reduction in fluid force index (RFI), moment index (RMI), overflow volume (Δ<i>Q</i>) were studied.

It was observed that as the porosity increased from low (<i>P</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> = 0.90) to high (<i>P</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> = 0.99), the backwater rise decreased for all vegetation patches. The relative energy reduction rate increased for the rigid patch and showed a reverse trend for the flexible and combined vegetation patches with increasing initial Froude number.
