Experimental Study on Unsteady Ventilated Cavitating Flows around an Axisymmetric Body with Cavitator

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1093.2014.03.007

Abstract

Abstract: The unsteady characteristics of ventilated cavitating flows around axisymmetric body with a cavitator are addressed by using experimental methods. Cavities around the body are observed by means of a high-speed video camera in the different conditions. The results show that the shapes of the cavities increase with the increase in ventilation rate at the same Froude number, and they develops from the free cavities to the supercavities. In the supercavitating flow stage, a smooth and clear interface exists between main stream and supercavitating region. The cavity shapes decrease with the increase in Froude number at the same ventilation rate. The ventilated air doesn’t form a big bubble because the air flows to downstream of flow field with the high speed flow. The unsteady characteristics can be observed in ventilated cavitating flow field. The velocity of re-entrant jet increases with the increase in ventilation rate.

Key words: fluid mechanics, ventilated cavitation, axisymmetric body, high-speed flow visualization technology
