Prediction of Cavitation Intensity and Erosion Area in Centrifugal Pump by Using Cavitating Flow Simulation with Bubble Flow Model

We developed a numerical simulation code and a method of estimation for predicting the cavitation erosion in pumps. Cavitation erosion is closely related to cavitation intensity based on bubble dynamics. A “bubble flow model” simulates detailed bubble behavior in a cavitating flo...
