Abstract
In order to investigate the erosion extent and mode of cavitation in different states by the commercial code FLUENT and evaluate the reliability of the software, the collapse processes of a vapor bubble, which was near or on the wall under the conditions in the stationary water or the high speed water, were simulated by the numerical calculation by using a 2D model. The results are in accordance with results presented by other researchers, so the simulation may testify to the validation of the code. We suppose that a bevel jet, which is generated contrary to the flow direction when the bubble collapses in high speed flow, may cause the ripple and fish-scale pit damage found on the transition parts of many hydraulic systems.
