Summary of cavitation erosion investigations for the SNS mercury target

Intense proton beam-induced heating of the spallation neutron source mercury target will cause pressure spikes that lead to the formation of cavitation bubbles in the mercury. Erosion of the mercury container walls caused by violent collapse of bubbles could potentially limit its service lifetime. I...

Zusammenfassung:	Intense proton beam-induced heating of the spallation neutron source mercury target will cause pressure spikes that lead to the formation of cavitation bubbles in the mercury. Erosion of the mercury container walls caused by violent collapse of bubbles could potentially limit its service lifetime. In-beam tests for a limited number of pulses (
