Numerical prediction of cavitation erosion on a ship propeller in model- and full-scale

On the thermodynamic behaviors and interactions between bubble pairs: A numerical approach

“…Cavitation phenomenon is common in engineering applications of hydrodynamics, such as turbomachinery [1] , pumps [2] , piping systems, and ship propellers [3] . The damage caused by the bubble collapse to nearby surfaces is a major issue to the run life of hydraulic devices and rotating machinery operating under cavitation conditions.…”

Numerical assessment of cavitation-induced erosion using a multi-scale Euler–Lagrange method

“…The qualitative assessment of erosion considered both number and intensity of microjet impacts on an area. Peters, Lantermann & el Moctar (2018) used a similar erosion model to estimate cavitation erosion for a model propeller. Although their erosion assessments agreed with experimental erosion predictions for different flow problems, we found that an Euler-Euler approach provides only a qualitative estimation of erosion.…”

Numerical Simulations of Cavitation Flows around Clark-Y Hydrofoil

“…The bubble radius R satisfies the following Formula (18), and can be obtained by the deformation of the Formula (15). c C and v C are the condensation and vaporization coefficients respectively.…”

“…Noble [14] used theoretical and numerical methods to predict the periodic back sheet cavitation on marine propellers operating in a ship's wake. Peters et al [15] used an implicit RANS-based flow solver and volume fluid method (VOF) to simulate the cavitation flow around a marine propeller. In addition to the numerical simulation of propeller, more efforts [16] are made to improve the main methods of viscous flow numerical simulation.…”
