Abstract: Cavitation characteristics were determined for sharp-edged orifices. Both circular and rectangular orifices were studied. A simple model is proposed, which was experimentally verified over a range ...

Abstract: The approach taken was to analyze the results in a manner consistent with application by design engineers to new and existing applications, while providing some insight into the processes that ...

Abstract: The available information describing the various stages of flow conditions that occur as the flow transitions from noncavitation to cavitation (turbulent flow), supercavitation, and finally separation ...
