Cavitation erosion tests on lowercase

Francisco Alves Pereira, Fabio Di Felice

CNR-INM

We report on the activities regarding the cavitation tests performed on the lowercase unit provided by FluidTechno Co., Ltd. The goal is to determine the cavitating behavior for different predefined materials and/or geometries of the water pick-up grid (or inlet). The lowercase is a full-scale unit, however the flow conditions are scaled according to the velocity limit of the test facility (CEIMM cavitation tunnel).
