✦ Synopsis

The simulation of cavitating flows is a challenging problem both in terms of modelling the physics and developing robust numerical methodologies. Such flows are characterized by important variations of the local Mach number and involve thermodynamic phase transition. To simulate these flows by applying homogeneous models, an appropriate equation of state (EOS) is necessary to cover all possible fluid states (pure liquid, two-phase mixture and pure vapour). Moreover, the numerical method has to handle any Mach number accurately. This paper presents a one-fluid compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver with a preconditioning scheme. The cavitation phenomenon is modelled by two different liquid-vapour mixture EOS. The mathematical and thermodynamic properties are studied. Steady and unsteady numerical results are given for a Venturi geometry and comparisons are made with experimental data.

## Abstract A 2D numerical model is proposed to simulate unsteady cavitating flows. The Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved for the mixture of liquid and vapour, which is considered as a single fluid with variable density. The vapourization and condensation processes are controlled

Homogeneous equilibrium two-phase flows are characterized by important variations of the local Mach number. Indeed, the sound speed can be several orders of magnitude higher in the liquid phase than in the two-phase mixture. For the simulation of such flows, a numerical method which can handle accur

In this article, large eddy simulation is used to simulate homogeneous shear ows. The spatial discretization is accomplished by the spectral collocation method and a third-order Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the time-dependent terms. For the estimation of the subgrid-scale stress tensor, t
