Hi; How is the capability of TASK-flow to model cavitation. Fluent6.1 apply an accurate cavitation model but very difficult to get a numerical convergency. For example we can not get a converged solution to model cavitation in separation zone of a backward step. Or we can not include noncondensable gas injection in cavitation model. We can only include water liquid and water vapor!!! thank you. ROOZBEH

TASCflow can model cavitation quite well, I've seen some good results. However, unless you already have TASCflow then you look at CFX-5 instead since TASCflow isn't developed anymore. Cavitation in CFX-5 is very similar to TASCflow. If you go to www.ansys.com/corporate/locations.asp you could ask your nearest office for some papers or examples of results. Mike
