  • Numerical investigation of cavitation and erosion in a venturi section for particle-laden flow [Elektronski vir]
    Kevorkijan, Luka ; Lešnik, Luka ; Biluš, Ignacijo
    In engineering hydraulic systems cavitation can occur in the presence of particles. Due to the presence of the particles cavitation dynamics can change which causes a change in cavitation erosion. In ... this study the effect of particles on cavitation dynamics and subsequent cavitation erosion in a venturi test section is investigated via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). For the particle-laden flow vapour volume is reduced, however earlier separation and faster collapse of cavitation clouds point to a more aggressive cavitation. By comparing cavitation erosion results from CFD simulation, it is concluded that particles used in this study increased cavitation erosion.
