Abstract

Cavitation often occurs in high-velocity water flows. Cavitation-induced erosion is a major threat facing many engineering projects. For hydraulic and hydropower engineering projects, the major methods for alleviating and preventing cavitation erosion can be classified as follows. The first method is to optimize the geometric design of water passages to minimize intense water flow separation, which leads to the formation of negative pressure, the necessary condition for cavitation to occur.
