Abstract: The features of an axial-symmetric two-dimensional (2D) model in a transient cavitating pipe flow are investigated. A distributed vaporous cavitation model is proposed, based on the mass and momentum balance equations for ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to examine nonfriction energy dissipation in transient cavitating flows and to verify whether they can be attributed to thermic exchange between gas bubbles and the surrounding liquid or to gas ...
