The cavitation model template contains domain settings and fluid
models for a cavitating flow. The domain cavitating device
is specified with two fluids, Water at 25 C
and Water Vapour at 25 C
. The homogeneous multiphase
model is employed. The Homogeneous Model in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.
The Rayleigh Plesset
model is used to model
cavitation in the domain. For details, see Rayleigh Plesset Model in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.
Boiling is modeled by setting the Mass Transfer option on the Fluid Pair Models tab to Phase Change
(which uses the Thermal Phase Change model
and requires a saturation temperature).
Review all settings applied to the simulation and create suitable boundary conditions. For details, see Cavitation Model in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide. Initialization data must also be set; for details, see Initial Conditions for a Multiphase Simulation in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.
