The restrictions of the parameters of cavitational flow (Q1092728)

The stability principle is used to study the admissible values of the physical parameters defining cavitational flow. An example is given of a non-stationary flow for which cavitational flow is possible only up to a certain instant. The restrictions on the cavitational flow parameters are studied in the light of surface-tension effects. For different Weber numbers we calculate the size of the cavitational cavity behind a cone in the flow of weightless fluid for zero cavitation number.
