Based on visualization results of highly-submerged cavitating water jet
obtained with digital camera, the influences of related parameters such as:
injection pressure, nozzle diameter and geometry, nozzle mounting (for
convergent / divergent flow), cavitation number and exit jet velocity, were
investigated. In addition, the influence of visualization system position was
also studied. All the parameters have been found to be of strong influence on
the jet appearance and performance. Both hydro-dynamical and geometrical
parameters are playing the main role in behavior and intensity of cavitation
phenomenon produced by cavitating jet generator. Based on our considerable
previous experience in working with cavitating jet generator, the working
conditions were chosen in order to obtain measurable phenomenon.
