3D flow simulation of a circular leading edge hydrofoil and assessment of cavitation erosion by the statistical evaluation of void collapses and cavitation structures

A simplified test case of a centrifugal pump blade, a hydrofoil with circular leading edge, is investigated. Cloud cavitation as a particularly aggressive type of cavitation is studied using a compressible 3D flow solver with barotropic cavitation model. The results are compared to measurement data...
