With the advent of high speed and high output diesel engines, cavitation erosion-corrosion of wet cylinder liners is one of the most prevalent types of failure. The cavitation erosion-corrosion at cylinder liners in water cooled diesel engines is considered to be to the collapse of cavitation bubbles attributed to the cylinder liner vibration. To suppress cavitation damage in cylinder liner, the addition of an inhibitor would be more general method and innovations such as the improvement in the geometric design of the equipment or the selection of suitably resistant construction materials are necessary. In this study, photomicrographs from vibratory facility cavitation specimens and from an eroded liner of a field diesel engine are compared. The behavior of cavitation bubbles grown in fluid is observed under vibration conditions by taking direct photographs with high speed camera. In order to determine the contributions of pure cavitation erosion and of pure corrosion to the total cavitation damage are be studied by following an experimental programme which includes three types of test: (1)pure cavitation erosion test, (2)pure corrosion test, and (1)cavitation erosion-corrosion test. Also cavitation damage under vibratory cavitation is reduced by using flow in tap water.

In this paper, some numerical methods recently developed for gas-liquid two-phase flows are reviewed. And then, a preconditioning method to solve cavitating flow by the author is introduced. This method employs a finite-difference Runge-Kutta method combined with MUSCL TVD scheme, and a homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model. So that it permits to treat simply the whole gas-liquid two-phase flow field including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristic at low Mach number. Finally, numerical results such as detailed observations of the unsteady cavity flows, a sheet cavitation break-off phenomena and some data related to performance characteristics of hydrofoils are shown.

The purpose of this study is to understand the cavitation phenomena in centrifugal pumps through computational fluid dynamics method. NPSH characteristic curve is measured from different flow operating conditions. Steady state, liquid-vapor homogeneous method with two equations transport turbulence model is employed to estimate the NPSH curve in centrifugal pumps. The Rayleigh-Plesset cavitation model is adapted as source term for inter-phase mass transfer in order to understand cavitation phenomena in centrifugal pumps. The cavitation incipient curve is clearly estimated at different flows operating conditions. A relationship is made between cavitation incipient and NPSH curve. Also the effects on water vapor volume fraction and pressure load distributions on the impeller blade are also described.

본 연구에서는 펌프젯 추진기를 대상으로 공동, 비공동 조건에서의 유동 소음원을 규명하기 위하여 추진기의 각 구성품인 덕트와 스테이터, 로터에 의한 소음 기여도를 평가하였으며, 공동과 비공동 조건에서의 소음 수준을 비교하였다. 대형 캐비테이션 터널 내 Suboff 잠수함 선형과 펌프젯 추진기를 대상으로 균일혼상류 가정의 비정상 비압축성 Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) 방정식을 적용하였으며, 이상 유동을 모사하기 위해 Volume of Fluid(VOF) 기법과 Schnerr-Sauer 공동 모델을 적용하였다. 유동해석 결과를 기반으로 수중방사소음을 예측하기 위해 Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings(FW-H) 방정식 기반의 음향상사법을 적용하였으며, 덕트와 스테이터, 로터로 구성된 3개의 비투과성 적분면과 추진기를 감싸는 형태의 2가지 투과성 적분면을 선정하여 소음 기여도를 평가하였다. 소음 예측결과로부터 스테이터는 전체 소음에 대한 직접적인 기여도는 낮으나 덕트와 로터에서의 유동 박리에 의한 소음원 형성에는 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였으며, 유동이 박리되는 연직상방과 우측방향으로 소음이 크게 방사되었다. 또한 로터에서는 날개의 흡입면과 압력면 간의 압력 섭동에 의해 추진방향으로 소음이 크게 방사되었으며, 투과성적분면을 통해 체적 소음원인 공동의 효과를 반영할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 인젝터 형상에 따른 캐비테이션과 같은 유동 현상이 수직 분사된 액체 제트의 분열에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 오리피스의 지름과 길이대 지름비(L/d) 및 입구의 형상이 다른 인젝터에서 압력을 변화시켜가며 내부 유동 변화를 살피고 수직분사 시 액주의 분열 거리와 궤적을 구하여 기존의 연구 결과와 비교하고 분석하였다. 실험 결과 곡률이 없는 경우(sharp edged)의 오리피스에서는 어느 정도 이상의 압력에서 모두 캐비테이션이 발생하였고 곡률이 없는 경우 중 길이대 지름비가 작은 오리피스에선 더 높은 압력에서 캐비테이션 성장에 의한 수력튀김(hydraulic flip)현상도 관찰할 수 있었다. 수직분사 시 곡률이 있는 경우와 없는 경우 모두 동일한 모멘텀 플럭스 비(q)에 대해 거의 같은 궤적 형상을 보였으나 캐비테이션이 일어날 경우 교란에 의해 액주의 분열 거리는 감소하였고 수력튀김 또한 제트 단면적의 감소 및 제트의 확산으로 분열거리가 감소하였다.

We developed an upwind numerical formulation based on the eigenvalues of the approximate Jacobian matrix in order to solve the hyperbolic conservation laws governing the two-fluid two-phase flow models. We obtained eight analytic eigenvalues in the two dimensions that can be used for estimate of the wave speeds essential in constructing an upwind numerical method. Two-dimensional underwater cavitation in a flow past structural shapes or by underwater explosion can be solved using this method. We present quantitative prediction of cavitation for the water tunnel wall and airfoils that has both experimental data as well as numerical results by other numerical methods and models.

In this paper, the cavitating flows around a hydrofoil have been numerically investigated by using a 2-d multi-phase RANS flow solver based on pseudo-compressibility and a homogeneous mixture model on unstructured meshes. For this purpose, a vertex-centered finite-volume method was utilized in conjunction with 2nd-order Roe's FDS to discretize the inviscid fluxes. The viscous fluxes were computed based on central differencing. The Spalart-Allmaras one equation model was employed for the closure of turbulence. A dual-time stepping method and the Gauss-Seidel iteration were used for unsteady time integration. The phase change rate between the liquid and vapor phases was determined by Merkle's cavitation model based on the difference between local and vapor pressure. Steady state calculations were made for the modified NACA66 hydrofoil at several flow conditions. Good agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment for the pressure coefficient on a hydrofoil surface. Additional calculation was made for cloud cavitation around the hydrofoil. The observation of the vapor structure, such as cavity size and shape, was made, and the flow characteristics around the cavity were analyzed. Good agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment for the frequency and the Strouhal number of cavity oscillation.

Model tests and CFD were carried out to find out the cause of cavitation surge in hydraulic power plants. In experiments the cavitation surge was observed at flow rate, both with and without a surge tank placed just upstream of the inlet volute. The surge frequency at smaller flow rate was much smaller than the swirl mode frequency caused by the whirl of vortex rope. An unsteady CFD was carried out with two boundary conditions: (1) the flow rate is fixed to be constant at the volute inlet, (2) the total pressure is kept constant at the volute inlet, corresponding to the experiments without/with the surge tank. The surge was observed with both boundary conditions at both higher and lower flow rates. Discussions as to the cause of the surge are made based on additional tests with an orifice at the diffuser exit, and with the diffuser replaced with a straight pipe.

본 연구의 목적은 원형과 타원형 노즐에 발생되는 캐비테이션 유동에 대해 수치 계산을 통해 각각의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 수치해석을 위해 상용코드인 FLUENT 6.2 을 사용하였고, 실험결과의 캐비테이션 형태와 수치계산에서 얻은 결과를 비교함으로써 계산결과의 타당성을 확인하였다. 주목할만한 결과로는 원형 노즐 내부의 캐이테이션 형상은 노즐 축방향으로 대칭적인 원통형을 가지는 반면, 타원형 노즐의 경우 장축의 캐이테이션 길이가 단축의 캐이테이션 길이보다 긴 말발굽 (horseshoe) 형태가 관찰되었다. 또한, 타원형 노즐의 경우 오리피스의 반경방향 속도는 오리피스의 장, 단축에서 확연히 다른 분포가 관찰되었다.

The major source of noise in the process of transporting liquids is related to the cavitation phenomenon. The control valve noise is mostly dominated by bubble dynamics under cavitating conditions. In this investigation, an orifice configuration is set-up to correlate its flow-field and acoustic signatures with those from a control valve device. The performance and noise characteristics form the orifice configuration in anechoic surroundings were measured to reveal the noise sources depending on pressure differences across the orifice configuration. The sound powers from the orifice configuration are effectively normalized using proposed scaling parameters. Flow-excited dynamic systems for which there is no strong coupling between the flow and the system response can be described using a linear source-filter model. On this assumption, the normalized sound powers can be decomposed of noise source function and a response function. To find noise sources, pressure spectra measured over a range of pressure differences are transformed into the product of two non-dimensional frequency function : $P_{ss}(He,f_{ca},x/D) = F(f_{ca})\;G(He,x/D)$. This scheme of finding noise sources is shown to be applicable to the cavitation noise from the control valve effectively Two kinds of cavitating modes based on our experimental data are found and discussed.
