A Hydroacoustic Model for the Identification of Incipient Cavitation: A Preliminary Study

Abstrak

Recent research has focused on the dynamic control and regulation of hydraulic devices like pumps and turbines to enhance the efficiency of water systems. These devices are adjusted to maintain nearly optimal hydraulic conditions and operating efficiency, although achieving both can be challenging due to factors like machine type and changes in distribution patterns. Incipient cavitation, which can cause mechanical damage and reduce efficiency, presents a specific challenge. It produces a distinct noise which this study aims to detect through a proposed methodology. Using the LES WALE model in OpenFOAM and Lighthill’s acoustic analogy, this research simulates and analyzes the noise generated by the dynamic of a confined flow. This work aims to be the starting point for more complex models.
