    Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles within a liquid when flow dynamics cause the local static pressure to drop below the vapor pressure. Cavitation can present problems with many fluid flow products including pumps, fuel injectors, valves, compressors, and propellers. However, cavitation can also be useful in controlled applications like ultrasonic devices and cavitation jets. Accurate simulation of cavitation using ANSYS CFD solutions allows engineers to evaluate designs, operating parameters, and limits to increase efficiency while avoiding unexpected vibration and damage.

    Cavitation
    Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles within a liquid
    when ow dynamics cause the local static pressure to drop
    below the vapor pressure. The bubbles usually last a short time,
    collapsing when they encounter higher pressure. This can cause
    noise and vibration, structural wear and damage, leading to
    reduced performance.

    Cavitation can present problems with many products that are ANSYS Fluent
    associated with uid ow including: simulation of oil
    volume in a gerotor
    Pumps (positive displacement) pump showing the
    extent of cavitation
    Fuel injectors
    (red) on the gear wall.
    Valves
    Compressors
    Turbochargers
    Propellers (and other marine applications)
    Spillways

    However, cavitation can also be useful in controlled


    applications:

    Ultrasonic devices (shock wave lithotripsy)


    Cavitation jets for cleaning surfaces

    Cavitation needs to be identi ed and diagnosed early in the


    design process to get the design right the rst time. But it is
    usually impossible to identify cavitation during physical testing
    until it reaches high levels and the resulting noise and vibration
    become apparent. Even then, it's hard to con rm that it is the
    root cause of the problem. Many computational uid dynamics
    (CFD) software packages have difficulty in predicting cavitation
    because they are not able to account for the motion of
    structural components; are not able to couple ow analysis
    with other physics, which is often needed for accurate
    cavitation simulation; and offer no, or perhaps only a limited
    selection of, cavitation models. Without accurate prediction,
    users cannot effectively optimize designs and set operating
    parameters and limits, potentially exposing their products to
    unexpected vibration and damage.

    Accurate simulation of cavitation can enable your engineering


    team to quickly evaluate alternative product and process
    designs to increase efficiency, reliability, safety and durability in
    a competitive, time-critical environment. ANSYS CFD solutions
    provide the building blocks needed to accurately and quickly
    analyze cavitation. ANSYS dynamic or moving mesh capabilities
    make it easy to accurately model moving elements such as
    impellers or vanes that are commonly found in applications
    where cavitation is a concern. With ANSYS CFD solutions, you
    can easily predict interactions between uids and structures,
    which is an important characteristic of many cavitation
    applications. Finally, ANSYS provides the most accurate
    multiphase modeling, including numerous choices of cavitation

    and turbulence submodels that maximize accuracy by
    matching the model to the application for the best t.
    Cavitation is a critical computational uid dynamics app that
    you have to get right.
