Vortex cavitation, a cavitation phenomenon that occurs at the vortex center on propeller
blades, often appears first on propeller prototypes. Once it occurs, it will seriously affect the …

In this paper, the noise characteristics of tip leakage vortex cavitation (TLVC) inception are
numerically investigated using a previously developed hybrid Eulerian–Lagrangian model …

We present a numerical study of inception in the shear layer of a backward-facing step
under the same conditions as experiments (Agarwal et al., 2018). The velocity field is shown …

The spatial and acoustic characteristics of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) inception were
measured in a cavitation tunnel. Numerous cavitation events were recorded to reveal the …

The influence of nucleation on cavitation inception in a high Reynolds number shear layer in
the wake of a backward-facing step was experimentally investigated in a water tunnel. The …

Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to simulate flow over a three-dimensional elliptical
hydrofoil at 12 degrees angle of attack and Reynolds numbers (R e) of 9× 1 0 5 and 1. 4× 1 …

This paper reports an experimental study of tip vortex flowfield and cavitation inception of a
tip-loaded hydrofoil. Vortex strength, wandering, and turbulence statistics are characterized …

The multiscale effect of cavitation is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon involving
macroscale cavitation, microscale cavitation bubbles and transformation between scales …

Following their inception, vortex cavities emanating from stationary wing tips in cavitation
tunnels are often observed to grow. These effects are usually attributed to the free and …

In this Letter, experiments are conducted on tip vortex cavitation (TVC) over a stationary
elliptical hydrofoil with the cross section of NACA (National Advisory Committee for …
