β¦ Synopsis
A model is presented of the erosion damage and cleaning efficiency of cavitation and conventional cleaning jets. The effect of supply pressure, jet velocity, standoff distance, nozzle diameter and type of fluid are considered and assessed in relation to experimental findings.

A study of visual and erosion effects of cavitation on simple single hydrofoil configurations in a cavitation tunnel was made. A thin copper foil, applied to the surface of the hydrofoils, was used as an erosion sensor. The cavitation phenomenon on hydrofoils at different flow conditions (system pre
The authors previously found that the change in volume loss rate with the exposure time can be expressed by a logistic curve. In this study, the validity of this model is examined for various materials such as pure aluminum, carbon steels, stainless steels, cobalt alloys, and so on. The MDE (mean de
