APPLICATION OF IMAGE MANIPULATION FOR CAVITATION ANALYZING

摘要

A new method ,which is called image manipulation, is introduced to analyze the cavitation of flow field for the first time. As the complexity of the cavitation development must be considering, only the method of image manipulation can calculate the strength of the cavitation more accurately. This method based on wavelet transform is used to eliminate the noise. The area of the cavitations is deduced to serve as the strength of cavitation. The method is applied in an example of inducer’s rotating cavitation. The results show that using image manipulation can get the accurate date of cavitation with ease,and the reason of the inducer shaft’s vibration is uncovered clearly.
