  • Descrição: The objective of this paper is to apply combined experimental and computational modeling to investigate unsteady sheet/cloud cavitating flows. In the numerical simulations, a filter-based density corrected model (FBDCM) is introduced to regulate the turbulent eddy viscosity in both the cavitation regions on the foil and in the wake, which is shown to be critical in accurately capturing the unsteady cavity shedding process, and the corresponding velocity and vorticity dynamics. In the experiments, high-speed video and particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique are used to measure the flow velocity and vorticity fields, as well as cavitation patterns. Results are presented for a Clark-Y hydrofoil fixed at an angle of attack of α = 8 deg at a moderate Reynolds number, Re = 7 × 105, for both subcavitating and sheet/cloud cavitating conditions. The results show that for the unsteady sheet/cloud cavitating case, the formation, breakup, shedding, and collapse of the sheet/cloud cavity lead to substantial increase in turbulent velocity fluctuations in the cavitating region around the foil and in the wake, and significantly modified the wake patterns. The turbulent boundary layer thickness is found to be much thicker, and the turbulent intensities are much higher in the sheet/cloud cavitating case. Compared to the wetted case, the wake region becomes much broader and is directed toward the suction side instead of the pressure side for the sheet/cloud cavitation case. The periodic formation, breakup, shedding, and collapse of the sheet/cloud cavities, and the associated baroclinic and viscoclinic torques, are shown to be important mechanisms for vorticity production and modification.
