CFD Optimization of an Orifice for Cavitation Activity

A total of 3 orifice plates was investigated, namely, 10, 9 and 5 holes. With each orifice, four pressure profiles were compared, 10, 7, 4 and 1 bar for each Pressure and Velocity Profiles were compared. Schnerr-Sauer Model was used in the ANSYS Fluent for CFD. An extensive comparison has been made between every model with respect to Pressure and Velocity Profiles, Bubble Radius and Cavitation Number. This has been an acute study over cavitation in a multi-hole orifice plate for which the preceding data has been observe and validated.
