Objective
Cavitation is a major phenomenon generating irreversible damage on the blades of hydraulic machinery and causing failure of the machines, but it is still unpredictable. The goal of this proposal is to derive a new methodology which will detect aggressive forms of cavitation and predict the life duration of machinery subject to this cavitation.
In the past, no reliable methods were available which allowed to predict cavitation erosion or to detect the erosive patterns of cavitation on industrial machines.
Compared to earlier knowledge and state of the art at the beginning of the project, it is now possible to forecast quantitative cavitation erosion by use of measuring techniques and procedures of data processing.
The validated results encourage the use of the methodology of prediction and of the measuring techniques. These results give a common basis usable by the scientific community to continue research and development and applicable by manufactures and users for industrial application to hydraulic machines and components.
