Abstract:SUMMARYAs a source of vibrations, noise, erosion and structure damages, cavitation is a major handicap for many industrial flows used in different domains from propeller or pump studies, to the analysis of hydrodynamic flows around a profile. This work presents results of the effect of a passive control method, based on surface roughness, on a venturi profile in order to determine how to reduce or even suppress cloud cavitation developed on its suction side. Visualizations and velocity measurements permit to d… Show more
