Featured Application Cavitation peening, Cleaning, Drilling. Abstract When a high-speed
water jet is injected into water through a nozzle, cavitation is generated in the nozzle and/or …

Cavitating jet is now being widely used in a variety of situations due to its strong aggressive
erosion ability. In order to push the erosion capability to a maximum, the effects of nozzle …

Focusing on cavitation phenomena caused by high-speed submerged water jets, this paper
presents an improved cavitation model for a compressible fluid mixture based on a concise …

The impacts generated when cavitation bubbles collapse can be used for the mechanical
treatment of surfaces in the same way as shot peening. A peening method that uses …

Cavitation water jets produce clouds of cavitation bubbles that erode surfaces and are
therefore widely used in numerous applications. Previous studies have focused on …

This study focuses on analysing the influence of nozzle geometry on the structure of a
cavitation cloud. The differences among the cavitation clouds of cylindrical, organ pipe, and …

In order to enhance the aggressive intensity of a cavitating jet for practical applications, the
effect of the geometry of the nozzle through which the jet is driven on the aggressive …
