绕水翼片状空化流动结构的数值与实验研究

采用数值与实验相结合的方法研究了水翼片状空化流动结构.实验采用高速录像技术观察了片状卒泡形态,应用LDV测量了翼型周围的湍动能和速度分布;采用N-S方程和基于空泡动力学方程的空化模型计算了绕水翼片状空化流场.结果表明:在片状空化阶段,翼型吸力面上附着很薄的一层透明空泡,空泡彤态呈现于指状;随着空化数的减少,空泡尾部水汽交界面相互作用增强,并且空泡尾部出现大的旋涡,影响了空泡尾部区域压力和速度分布,片状空泡尾部的水汽混合区出现不稳定现象,同时存在小的空泡团脱落.数值模拟得到的水翼片状空化流动现象和实验观察到的结果基本一致,验证了计算模型和数值方法的可靠性.

ANALYSIS OF SHEET CAVITATING FLOW STRUCTURES BY NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

The structure of sheet cavitating flow around a hydrofoil was investigated by coupled experimental and numerical methods. A high-speed camera was used to visualize the flow structures, and Laser Doppler Velocity (LDV) was employed for velocity measurement. The results demonstrate that the sheet cavity is typically thin and has a series of sharp thinfingers. As the cavitation number is reduced the cavitating region grows and becomes increasingly unstable, companying with the shedding of small cavitating vort...
