Cavitation modeling in laminar flows
Hello guys! I am trying to simulate a laminar, steady, incompressible, flow of water in a stepped land thrust bearing. I want to take into consideration the effects of cavitation but I can't really figure out how. It does not seem to converge when I select the Multiphase-Mixture model.
My questions are: 1. Can cavitation be modelled on laminar flows? 2. Under phase interactions, do I also have to set the mass transfer conditions form phase 2 (water-vapor) to phase 1 (water-liquid) ? Any kind of help is very much appreciated. If you have further questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance! |
I have made the calculation like you (laminar flow; without vapor>liquid). And it is ok for the first order discretization method.
