Cavitation Inception and Nuclei Distributions Joint ARL/CIT Experiments.

Abstract

A number of cavitation inception experiments have been made on a series of identical non-separating bodies in three different water tunnels. Measurements of nuclei were made by light scattering in three tunnels and by holography in one tunnel. These point out that particulates were present. Schlieren observations of transition were also made to compare the flow within each of the tunnels and to evaluate the connection between transition and cavitation inception. (Author
