Marine fouling attached to the hull of a ship will reduce its economic performance and
therefore regular cleaning is required. Cavitation jets are a widely used and effective …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of cavitation erosion on widely used
marine propeller materials by the cavitating jet technique as an alternative to cavitation …

Biofouling and cavitation erosion are the key important factors causing the degradation and
fatigue failure of metal materials in seawater. Herein, a series of polyurethane (PU)/ZIF-8 …

This study experimentally investigates the impact of passive acoustic excitation modes from
self-excited cavitating waterjet clouds on erosive patterns using high-speed imaging …

Cavitation erosion and biofouling are the most severe factors of metal materials fatigue
failure and degradation in seawater. Herein, a series of hydrophobic fluorinated …

We numerically investigate the erosion potential of a cavitating liquid jet by means of high-
resolution finite volume simulations. As thermodynamic model, we employ a barotropic …

The self-excited water jet technology is widely used in submerged conditions, while its
performance is restricted under high confining pressure. To improve its erosive capability …

In this work, the flow field characteristics of a cylindrical cavitation nozzle jet under different
turbulence models were systematically investigated. A deep understanding of the cavitation …

In this study the kinetic curves of cavitation wear of cast steels 20 GL and 30 L used for
production of critical elements of hydraulic machines were obtained. The typical …

Cavitation is not rare in the field of the water conservancy machinery, and it also effects
production and life deeply. To explore the results of cavitation, the formation, expansion …
