N2 - Numerical predictions of cavitation in a series of orifice and nozzle flows have been compared to experimental measurements as a means of validating the new cavitation model in the commercial CFD code FLUENT V6.1. A flashing study is also presented for the nozzle case. Model predictions for the orifice cases accurately capture cavitation inception and its influence on the orifice discharge coefficient. In addition, the new cavitation model offers considerable improvement over the previous model for the flashing nozzle. Overall, the new cavitation model is able to predict cavitation in these simple orifice and nozzle flows. Application to more complex flows, including valves, is currently under investigation.
