Abstract:An experimental research of three types of orifices was carried out in a hydraulic circuit. One-hole orifice and two fractal-shaped orifices (von Koch snowflake, Apollonian gasket) were tested. Fractalshaped orifices had lower pressure loss in non-cavitating regime. For cavitating conditions, von Koch snowflake orifice maintained the reduced pressure loss, while pressure loss curve within Apollonian gasket orifice gradually aligned with that of one-hole orifice. Dynamics of the cavitating flow behind the orifi… Show more
