1. Cavitation Mechanisms Related to Erosion Studies on Kaplan Turbines, Foils, and Propellers
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis work is to study cavitation behaviours related to erosion. The focus is on processes of observable scale, i.e. the process prior to the micro scale level at which the actual damage is generated. READ MORE

2. Modelling Cavitation Mechanisms Using Large Eddy Simulation
Abstract : Cavitation often brings negative effects such as performance degradation, noise and vibration, and material damage, being one of the limiting factors when designing propulsion systems. On the other hand, cavitation must be endured for an efficiently propelled system. READ MORE

3. A Method for the Study of Unsteady Cavitation - Observations on Collapsing Sheet Cavities
Abstract : When subjected to sufficiently low pressures, water will eventually come apart. Gas-filled cavities appear in the water: it is said to cavitate. When the cavities collapse, they often do so quite vigorously, causing noise, vibrations and erosion. A well-known example of cavitation is that found on heavily loaded ship propellers. READ MORE

4. Influence of Acoustic Interaction between Cavities That Generate Cavitation Noise
Abstract : The thesis concerns high frequency cavitation noise generated by marine propellers, for example. The collapse of a cavity is forced by the surrounding pressure which comprises the pressure in the undisturbed flow, the pressure disturbance associated with the local non-cavitating flow and, finally, the pressure disturbance from the presence and motion of neighbouring cavities.

5. Process Intensification through Acoustic and Hydrodynamic Cavitation
Abstract : Process industries are cornerstones in today’s industrialized world. They contribute significantly to the development of diverse commodities and materials that are used in our daily lives. Process intensification is an approach implemented to boost manufacturing efficiency and capacities in a more sustainable and energy efficient way. READ MORE
