Numerical Simulation of Nonlinear Self Oscillations of a Full Load Vortex Rope

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Pierre Maruzewski, Sébastien Alligné, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Nicolas Ruchonnet

Self excited instabilities or oscillations of a cavitating full load vortex rope occur due to an interaction between the gas volume and the acoustic waves. From the onset of the oscillations, the amplitudes grow until they reach a maximum, called the “limi ...
