An experimental investigation of the cavitational characteristics of converging nozzles

Abstract

We consider problems associated with the appearance and development of cavitation in the flow of a liquid through channels with local constriction. For the case of separation flow we have derived an equation which associates the parameters of three sections of the channel: at the inlet, at the cross section of the stream, and at the outlet; this equation has been confirmed through experimentation on cold and hot water, as well as on kerosene.
