Abstract Background Multi-stage orifices (MSOs) are used in many industries such as oil
refineries, nuclear power plants, fertilizer plants and chemical plants for pressure reduction …

In this paper direct numerical evidence of flow-induced incipient cavitation is presented
through lattice Boltzmann simulations of multiphase flows with a non-ideal thermodynamic …

Cavitation in a liquid moving past a constraint is numerically investigated by means of a free-
energy lattice Boltzmann simulation based on the van der Waals equation of state. The fluid …

Here a comprehensive survey of the literature in the area of numerical heat transfer (NHT)
published in 2010 and 2011 has been conducted. Due to the immenseness of the literature …

In this work, we investigate the effect of dissolved gas concentration on cavitation inception
and cavitation development in a transparent sharp-edged orifice, similar to that previously …

The two-component jet flow with heat transfer in a channel is numerically investigated by the
pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann method using discretized force treatment coupled with …

Cavitating flow in nozzles is a complex flow which implies a highly turbulent two-phase one.
An accurate simulation which improves some numerical results found in the literature was …

This work is devoted to the development of a procedure for the numerical solution of Navier-
Stokes equations for cavitating flows with and without ventilation based on a compressible …

In this paper, a multiphase Lattice Boltzmann approach is adopted to directly simulate flow
conditions that lead to the inception of cavitation in an orifice. Different values of fluid surface …

This paper attempts to investigate the effects of fluid viscosity on cavitation generation.
Different from the traditional cavitation models in which the Rayleigh–Plesset equation is …
