  24. Transient vaporous and gaseous cavitation in pipelines (EU HYDRALAB III PROJECT: Deltares dynamic multi-phase flow rig) TUT team: Janek Laanearu, Tiit Koppel and Ivar Annus PROJECT FOCUSon cavitation processes in the fully- and partly-filled pipelines. Two-phase flow experiments are proposed in the DELTARES large-scale test facility made of PVC (D250) pipelines.

  25. Expected benefits from the use of the large installation • Better understanding of physics of large-scale flow in two-phase system • Validation of existing numerical codes and improvement of models • Economic design of new piping systems (water supply, hydropower, fluid transport) • Fast filling and emptying procedures for (fuel) transport and fire fighting systems • Safer operation of aging pipelines

  26. Cavitation is a complex phenomenon that may appear in hydraulic machinery and pipe systems in several forms, affecting their operation in many different ways. Cavitation in hydraulic machinery may lead to reduction of the performance of pumps (head), turbines (efficiency) and valves (flow capacity), and produce erosion, vibrations and noise emission.
