Numerical Prediction of Cavitation Erosion Intensity in Cavitating Flows around a Clark Y 11.7% Hydrofoil
A numerical prediction method of cavitation erosion is proposed.In this method, the analysis of bubbles in cavitating flows is performed and the intensity of cavitation erosion is evaluated by the impact pressure induced by spherical bubble collapse.In the present study, two-dimensional cavitating flow around the Clark Y 11.7 % hydrofoil is used to
