Summer Co-op Outbrief: Themis Cavitating Venturi Resonance Study

Abstract

This presentation examines the propagation and properties of acoustic disturbances caused by cavitating venture at different operating regimes. Issues of interest are effects on cold flow and water visualization jets (injectors) and the Big Picture: LRE systems. There is a lack of literature pertaining to unsteady characteristics. Theory is explored, along with test details for design space, test facility, test apparatus, and preliminary results.
