## Abstract A 2D numerical model is proposed to simulate unsteady cavitating flows. The Reynoldsβaveraged NavierβStokes 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

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 apply
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
