Flow of Oil and Water through the Nozzle and Cavitation
description Today, the correct understanding of the issue of oil and water cavitation is important due to the growing demands on working conditions in hydraulic systems (pressure and flow rate). This article deals with the measurement and subsequent mathematical modeling of cavitation in a convergent-divergent nozzle of circular cross-section. Cavitation depends on the physical properties of the flowing medium as a function of temperature. Usually, cavitation in water is defined by a two-phase flow of water and vapor, but the air contained in the water significantly affects cavitation. There is usually no vapor cavitation in the oil. Far more often, cavitation in oil is caused by the air it contains. For comparison, cavitation in water and oil was generated in experiments with an identical nozzle.
