Committee on Cavitation
 

1. Review the application of computational methods and new experimental methods to the prediction of cavitation including cavitation dynamics and its influence on pressure fluctuations.


2. Review advances in multi-phase flow modelling of cavitation and its potential to predict inception, erosion and induced pressure fluctuations.


3. Review methods and develop guidelines for the prediction of cavitation and erosion damage for unconventional rudders or rudders behind highly loaded propellers.


4. Review methods of modelling the cavitation behaviour of waterjets (inlet and pumps) including scale effects. Develop guidelines or procedure. Liaise with the Propulsion Committee.
