Effect of Aeration on the Cavitation Characteristics of the Control Valve in Hydro-Driven Ship Lifts

In hydro-driven ship lifts, plunger valves and fixed cone valves are the most suitable structures for achieving accurate flow control under a wide range of flow conditions. In order to inhibit cavitation in these valve structures, experiments were conducted in which forced aeration was applied befor...
