LES of Venturi Cavitation

Animation of vortical structure colored by void fraction in a 3D LES of a venturi. A one-fluid, homogeneous cavitation model is coupled to a compressible LES with a dynamic Smagorinsky model. Once validated, the simulations will be used to explore passive and active control of cavitation.
