Cavitation Simulation

Predict Cavitation Before It Damages Critical Equipment

Cavitation occurs when the local pressure within a flowing liquid fall below its vapor pressure, causing vapor bubbles to form and collapse rapidly. The collapse of these bubbles generates localized shock waves that can erode material surfaces, increase vibration and noise, reduce hydraulic efficiency, and shorten the service life of critical equipment. Cavitation Simulation enables engineers to identify and mitigate these issues before manufacturing, installation, or field operation.

At Experiqs, we perform Cavitation Simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze pressure distribution, vapor formation, bubble dynamics, and cavitation-prone regions within fluid systems. These simulations support equipment design, hydraulic optimization, engineering validation, and failure prevention across industries where reliable fluid handling is essential.

Why Cavitation Simulation Matters

Cavitation is a common challenge in pumps, turbines, valves, marine propellers, injectors, and other hydraulic systems operating under varying pressure conditions. If left unaddressed, it can lead to surface erosion, reduced equipment efficiency, increased maintenance costs, and unexpected operational failures.

Cavitation Simulation enables engineers to predict cavitation during the design stage by evaluating pressure variations and fluid behaviour under realistic operating conditions. This allows design teams to improve hydraulic performance, optimize component geometry, minimize cavitation risks, and enhance equipment reliability before physical testing.
