Abstract:The current research investigates the effects of materials and riblets on cavitation-induced erosion morphology, depth, and cross-sectional area through experimental approaches. To achieve these aims, the erosion of pure aluminum (1xxxAl or Al) and alpha brass (CuZn37 or CZ108), in the presence and absence of bio-inspired sawtooth riblets, was examined after exposure to multiple collapses of single cavitation bubbles with a wall distance of 1.8 (dimensionless). The results indicate that the erosion morphology … Show more
