Abstract: In industrial applications, cryogenic liquids are sometimes used as the working fluid of fluid machineries. In those fluids, the thermodynamic suppression effect of cavitation, which is normally ignored in water at room ...

Abstract: Rotating machinery plays a preponderant role in most of the industrial sectors, including, but not limited to, energy production and storage, automobile, maritime transport, aviation, and aerospace. Since the first development ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic suppression effect of cavitation arising in a NACA0015 single hydrofoil is experimentally investigated in water at mainstream temperatures of T∞ = 20 °C to 140 °C in the present study. The cavity length ...

Abstract: An experimental study of cavitating flow on a heated NACA0015 hydrofoil was conducted in a cavitation tunnel to investigate the influence of the hydrofoil surface temperature on the cavitating flow. The cavitation behavior ...

Abstract: The influence of inducer rotation speed on the propagation characteristics of rotating cavitation and on the unsteady characteristics of cavitation in rotating cavitation and cavitation surge were examined using a three-bladed ...

Abstract: Despite the observation of change in the cavitation regime on a heated surface, the specific section of the wall surface that plays a more dominant role in this transition phenomenon remains unknown. This study experimentally ...

Abstract: Cavitation erosion is a material damage phenomenon caused by the repeated application of impulsive pressure on a material surface induced by bubble collapse, and the establishment of a method by which to numerically predict ...

Abstract: Rotating cavitation is an important problem, which makes it difficult to design reliable rotating machines. In this study, a simple analysis method that tried to evaluate the cavitation instabilities of a rotating machinery ...
