Implementation and Validation of a Three-Phase Phase-Change Solver with Merging Theory for Gas–Liquid Cavitating Flows
Numerical prediction of ventilated cavitation remains challenging due to the coexistence of liquid, vapor, and non-condensable gas and the strong unsteadiness of the resulting flow. This paper presents the implementation and validation of a three-phase VOF cavitation solver in OpenFOAM for water, vapor, and air flows,...
