A Cartesian cut-cell method is used for mesh generation, which is of good orthogonality and high quality. A good agreement is obtained between simulation and experiment. Two influencing factors on vorticity distributions, the interaction between different vortices and the occurrence of cavitation, are discussed in detail based on the numerical results. A series of ？-shaped loops are observed during the development of the induced vortex, which is a result of the instability of vortex pair. This finding may provide a new viewpoint to control the evolution of tip-leakage vortex（TLV） cavitation. Moreover, it is found that the dilatation term plays a much more important role in the evolution of TLV cavitation compared with that in sheet cavitation.展开更多

Generally, 9-point stencils for 2D cases and 27-point stencils for 3D cases are used for the approximation of the first and second order derivatives obtained with conventional central difference schemes. When the same stencils are used, explicit LSFD formulations for approximation of the first and second order derivatives are presented. The LSFD formulations are actually a combination of conventional central difference schemes along relevant mesh lines. It has been found that LSFD formulations need much less iteration steps than the conventional FD schemes to converge, and the ratio of mesh spacing in the x and y directions is an important parameter in the LSFD application, with a great impact on stability of LSFD computation.展开更多
