CFD Turbulence Models Assessment for the Cavitation Phenomenon in a Rectangular Profile Venturi Tube

This study investigates cavitation in a rectangular-profile Venturi tube using numerical simulations and four turbulence models. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes technique is employed to simulate vapor cloud formation and compared against experimental data. κ-ε realizable, κ-ε RNG, κ-ω S...
