THE GROWTH OF GAS NUCLEI IN VORTEX AND VORTEX CAVITATION INCEPTION

An investigation of cavitation of vortex flow fields is described theoretically and experimentally in this paper. The effect of nuclei to vortex cavitation through its growth in the flow field is researched, and the effect of the nuclei spectrum is compared with the dissolved gas. The conclusion shows that the effects of dissolved gas to the vortex cavitation can not be neglected.
