Numerical and experimental analysis of cavitation characteristics in safety valves of the nuclear power second circuit using a modified cavitation model

Cavitation frequently arises in the safety valve of nuclear power plants’ secondary circuits operating under high pressure conditions. This study integrates valve flow characteristics and velocity strain rate corrections into the Zwart-Gerber-Belamri model to accurately simulate cavitation inside th...
