Identification of cavitation wear areas on inner lining of tubes with variable radius using computer modeling of fluid flow
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents applicability of the computer system to model and simulate fluid and gas flow to assess surface cavitation wear. Abstract tube models with a decreasing inside diameter were developed and fluid flow with varying flow velocities was simulated. This facilitated identification of areas particularly at risk of cavitation wear. Results of simulation analyses were verified by comparing them with actual empirical results concerning cavitation erosion of tubing materials.
