Large Eddy Simulation of the cavitating flow around a Clark-Y mini cascade with an insight on the cavitation-vortex interaction

LES investigation of the wavy leading edge effect on cavitation noise

“…The ZGB cavitation model [56] is applied to simulate the vapor/liquid phase transition process in the present paper, which has been widely used for predicting unsteady cavitating flow [57] , [58] , [59] . The cavitation process is governed by the following mass-transfer equation: where and represent the evaporation and condensation rates respectively, which are calculated as follows: where R B denotes the bubble radius, α nuc denotes the volume fraction of nucleation site.…”
