Modeling of Cavitating Flow through Waterjet Propulsors
Figure 1
Waterjet pump, AxWJ-2, computational grids shown on all solid surfaces. (a) Axisymmetric through-flow grids with “measurement” locations illustrated. (b) Periodic 3D rotor, and 3D-stator grids. (c) 3D grids assembled, repeated, and overlaid for illustration. In part (c), shaft is light blue, hub is red, rotor blades are dark blue, stator blades are purple, and shroud/duct is gray.
