AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Cavitation flow is a highly compressible compressible multiphase flow with phase change. In cavitation numerical simulation, it is often based on the assumption of phase equilibrium and incompressibility. It is considered that the velocity, pressure and temperature of the vapor / liquid phase are balanced, and the The liquid density is constant, and the incompressible cavitation numerical simulation method can predict the cavitation instability phenomena such as the growth of attached cavitation, the generation and propulsion of back jet flow, the fracture of cavitation and the process of cavitation shedding. The phenomenon of compressibility, such as cavitation-induced pressure pulsation, pressure pulse, cavitation collapse, cavitation shock wave dynamics, etc., which involves the cavitation transient load problem concerned in engineering practice, can be accurately captured. Experiments show that: cavitation The fracture and shedding process has a back jet mechanism and a shock wave mechanism. The shock wave mechanism will lead to more violent unsteady characteristics, and the shock wave mechanism is closely related to the cavitation compressibility

On the other hand, there is a non-uniform and unstable phase transition process in the cavitation flow field. The coupling of phase transition and compressibility makes the cavitation mechanism more complex and poses greater challenges to numerical calculations.

Cavitation flow has the characteristics of high density ratio between vapor and liquid, and the difference in vapor-liquid compressibility is large. At the same time, the sound velocity distribution of cavitation flow field has the characteristics of large span, from 1450m / s in pure water to 3- 5m / s, the cavitation area can reach more than 10 Mach numbers, and the introduction of compressible fluid poses new challenges for the capture of vapor-liquid free interface
