Stochastic simulation of cavitation bubbles formation in the axial valve separator influenced by degree of opening

A stochastic modeling of the formation of cavitation bubbles on a specific example is proposed. In this case, the initial stage of hydrodynamic cavitation in the flow part of the axial valve, the separator, was studied. A distinctive feature of this regulating device is the external location of the locking organ. An expression for the differential distribution function of the number of bubbles according to the degree of valve opening is obtained. The model takes into account the design and operating parameters of the axial valve, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of the working environment.
