Cavitation Behavior of Water–Ethanol Blends in Representative Injector Geometry: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
This study validates a multi-component Euler–Euler cavitation model against experimental data for water–ethanol blends in an injector geometry, revealing that while mass flow predictions are similar for single- and multi-component approaches, the latter is essential for accurately capturing the ethanol-dominated vapor composition and specific water/ethanol enrichment patterns within the flow.
