Abstract: Tests were conducted in a rotating disk facility to determine the effects of source size and velocity on cavitation damage in aluminum test specimens. To eliminate Reynolds number as a primary ...

Abstract: Exploratory studies have indicated the existence of periodic oscillations associated with vortex street formation for a two-dimensional plane jet in a counter flowing stream. Potentially this ...

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of flow velocity on erosion and noise due to cavitation. To this end, tests were conducted in a two-dimensional water tunnel in which ...

Abstract: An experimental program has been carried out to determine the effects of wall interference on the drag and vortex shedding characteristics of cavitating two-dimensional triangular prisms and ...

Abstract: A model is developed to predict the choking cavitation number for sharp edged bluff bodies subject to wall interference effects. The fact that the forebody pressure distribution under cavitating ...

Abstract: The influence of cavitation on vortex shedding behind constrained sharp-edged bluff prisms is studied experimentally. At a given blockage, the length of the vortex formation region is found to ...

Abstract: The present study examines the effect of cavitation on the base pressure coefficient of a circular cylinder. The tests are conducted at near-constant Reynolds numbers (≈10

Abstract: A numerical simulation is presented to obtain the flow characteristics of cut-throat flumes in rectangular open channels. Cut-throat flumes with a horizontal floor are used as simple devices for flow measurement in open ...

Abstract: The wake characteristics of constrained, cavitating two‐dimensional bluff bodies are studied over a large range of blockage. Prismatic sources with fixed separating points are chosen to reduce or eliminate Reynolds number ...

Abstract: The charactertistics of combining flows past 90° junctions of rectangular closed conduit are studied to determine the various parameters such as power and energy loss coefficients, average entry angle of the branch flow, ...
