From: Quantification of cavitating flows with neutron imaging
Two-dimensional plots of time-averaged mean vapour-path length along the irradiation line-of-sight, for different values of Cavitation Number (CN), Lift = 1.0 mm: (a) side view and (b) top view. Both panels refer to reference diesel fuel. The additised sample exhibits qualitatively the same cavitation topology features. The inset of each panel depicts the orifice geometry, where flow is from left to right, while the active window has been annotated as a dashed-line rectangle. Normalised coordinate \(\:{x}^{*}\) was defined by dividing the axial coordinate \(\:x\) by the orifice length (L = 5.0 mm). Likewise, radial coordinates\(\:\:{y}^{*}\) and \(\:{z}^{*}\) were normalised against the orifice diameter (d = 1.5 mm).
