If the fluid is liquid air, why will the cavitation be different from single component cavitation like liquid nitrogen or hydrogen?
How can we simulate this kind of cavitation? The manual of commercial software "FLUENT" have said that "FLUENT" cannot be used when there are more than one component cavitating.
In the flow you can define few components (usually 2 or 3) but only for one you can define a source of mass. Through this source you may simulate mas exchange between a liquid and its vapour.
I want to simulate the cavitation for liquid air. So there will be 2 or 3 mass sources: liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen……
In this case you have 4 components: liquid nitrogen, vapor nitrogen, liquid oxygen and vapour oxygen. For every pair (liquid-vapour) you must define in Fluent an UDF (only one for every pair). It may works.
