The present paper focuses on the simulation of the high-velocity impact of a projectile
impacting on a water-jet, causing the onset, development and collapse of cavitation. The
simulation of the fluid motion is carried out using an explicit, compressible, density-based
solver developed by the authors using the OpenFOAM library. It employs a barotropic two-
phase flow model that simulates the phase-change due to cavitation and considers the co-
existence of non-condensable and immiscible air. The projectile is considered to be rigid …
