Hydrodynamic cavitation in Venturi channels with different divergent angles [PDF]
Hydrodynamic cavitation occurs in hydraulic systems when flow restrictions increase velocity and decrease pressure below vapor pressure. To study cavitation phenomena, simplified geometries such as Venturi channels are commonly used for experiments and ...

A Study on the Repeatability of Cavitation Tunnel Tests
In order to understand the level of the accuracy and the repeatability of cavitation tunnel tests, a propeller model was tested repeatedly in cavitation tunnel and in open-water. The test results were analyzed in terms of the variation of thrust and torque at each set of advance constant and cavitation number. From the test results and the analysis, it

Experimental study of appearance of thermodynamic effect on cavitation in hot water
In this study, in order to clarify a relation between thermodynamic effect, which suppresses cavitation, and scale effect, which promotes cavitation, tunnel experiment was done with NACA16012 single hydrofoil in hot water.
