Experimental investigation of artificially submerged cavitation abrasive waterjet (AS-CAWJ) dynamics
Analysis using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to evaluate coherent structures and frequency characteristics
Systematic evaluation of nozzle geometries and driving pressure effects on shear layer cavitation.
Cavitation cloud exhibits periodic evolution during flow, with specific dominant frequencies identified via POD analysis.
Larger low-pressure nozzle diameters and wider inter-nozzle distances enhance shear layer stability, promoting cavitation cloud growth.
A critical low-speed waterjet pressure of 0.09 MPa optimizes momentum exchange for maximum cavitation scale.

Zhang et al. (2026) studied this question.
