Cavitation in a tube. (a) The instantaneous computed contours of the dimensionless pressure on the xz-plane bubbles in a cavitation flow of water at the cavitation number of . The locations of the sampling ports are the same as those in Figure 7(c). (b)–(e) Variations of the dimensionless pressure as a function of . (f) The instantaneous computed velocity field of a cavitating water flow through the pipe with inner diameter of  m at the discharge of  L/s.
