摘要
By using a pressure-based method and the finite volume method in the framework of the time dependent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, the authors studied the unsteady process of ventilated cavities generated forcing air through an orifice in a 2D hydrofoil without natural cavitation physically. The computation was carried out with the Volume Of Fluid （VOF） technique to track the gas-liquid two-phase interface. The results of simulation indicate that the ventilation rate is an important parameter in determining the morphology of cavity. There exists a critical value to convert sheet cavity into supereavity. A high ventilation rate can induce a two phase interface fluctuation and enable the ventilated eavitating flow to present a characteristic of periodicity.
