The cavitation phenomenon of the self-resonating waterjet for the modulation of erosion characteristics is investigated in this paper. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to analyze the unsteady characteristics of the self-resonating jet. The numerical model employs the mixture two-phase model, coupling the realizable turbulence model and Schnerr–Sauer cavitation model. Collected data from experimental tests were used to validate the model. Results of numerical simulations and experimental data frequency bands obtained by the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) method were in very good agreement. For better understanding the physical phenomena, the velocity, the pressure distributions, and the cavitation characteristics were investigated. The obtained results show that the sudden change of the flow velocity at the outlet of the nozzle leads to the forms of the low-pressure zone. When the pressure at the low-pressure zone is lower than the vapor pressure, the cavitation occurs. The flow field structure of the waterjet can be directly perceived through simulation, which can provide theoretical support for realizing the modulation of the erosion characteristics, optimizing nozzle structure.

Tip leakage vortex cavitations originating from the tip clearance of an oscillating hydrofoil were observed experimentally. It was found that the delay between the unsteady and the steady-state results of the tip leakage vortex cavitation increase, and that the maximum cavity size decreases when the reduced oscillating frequency increases. To simulate the unsteady characteristics of tip leakage vortex cavitation, a simple calculation based on slender body approximation was conducted taking into account the effect of cavity growth. The calculation and experimental results of the cavity volume fluctuation were found to be in qualitative agreement.

A model has been developed to compute the dynamic stiffness and damping properties of externally pressurized, porous-wall, gas journal bearings which includes the effects of journal rotation and eccentricity. This paper presents the derivation of the governing equations and the perturbation analysis used to find the unsteady characteristics. Typical nondimensional performance curves are found and the influences of seven governing parameters are discussed. A companion paper describes an experimental investigation of porous journal bearings.
