Numerical study of expansion tube problems: Toward the simulation of cavitation
A compressible, multiphase, one-fluid inviscid solver has been developed to investigate the behavior of various cavitation models. A new source term for the mass transfer between phases is proposed. A range of models from three to five equations is compared. Numerical simulations are performed on rarefaction problems and compared with reference solutions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
