The accumulation of marine fouling on a ship’s hull can increase its fuel consumption, necessitating removal. The use of a cavitation water jet as an efficient method for cleaning marine fouling has been widely adopted. In the research, experiments are conducted on water jet cleaning of marine fouling to investigate the influence of water jet parameters on cleaning efficiency. The findings reveal that the surface damage to specimens was minimized when maintaining an erosion pressure of 16 MPa, employing a 25 mm standoff distance, and applying a 90° incidence angle. This research can provide theoretical guidance for subsequent optimization of cavitation water jet cleaning parameters.
