Using Simulation to Predict Cavitating Flow

Oct. 6, 2022
Learn how to conduct accurate, full-scale simulation of propellers.

This paper examines the challenges of simulating cavitating flows, especially flows around propellers. First the sources of various errors are highlighted: the accuracy of geometry, grid quality and fineness, turbulence modeling and cavitation modeling. The interaction between errors from different sources is also discussed.
