Abstract

The paper provides analysis of devices using cavitation mass flow stabilization effect in the working process. The object of
present study is the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer of the "pipe-pipe" type. To create the method of its calculation a new
hypothesis about the causes of the cavitation mass flow stabilization effect based on the preservation of the boundary layer at the
cavitation has been proposed. Verified method of calculating hydraulic characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow
stabilizer is proposed. The discrepancy with the experimental procedure is not more than 4% for the mass flow of stabilization.
With the help of the method the influence of structural and hydraulic parameters on the mass flow and the width of the
stabilization zone were studied. The efficiency of the proposed method was compared with numerical simulations and analytical
methods of calculation.

1. Introduction

The development of hydraulic systems due to pressure increase, weight and size reduction and rejection of the
spool valve controls require fundamentally new hydro units using effects of multiphase media mechanics.
The most promising is the effect of stabilizing the fluid flow cavitation. The effect of the cavitation flow
stabilization occurs during hydrodynamic cavitation in Venturi nozzles, jet elements and is characterized by a
constant, independent of the differential pressure Δp, mass flow of stabilization Qst, and stabilization zone width
Δpst . (Fig. 1).

The stabilization zone width Δpst is determined by difference between pressure at the inlet of fluid mass flow
stabilizer pin and pressure drop Δp, when the effect disappears. Experimental research shows that mass flow of
stabilization depends on the stabilizer’s geometry and inlet pressure [10]. Mass flow of stabilization usually rises
with the increase of inlet pressure and hydraulic diameter of stabilizer [13, 23]. As for the width of stabilization zone
it decreases with the rise of hydraulic resistance of diffuser elements of stabilizers [14]. When the effect of
stabilization of fluid mass flow occurs in the jet elements, the mass flow of stabilization is affected by the diameter
of the jet pipe, the diameter of the receiving nozzle and the distance between the nozzles [4, 5, 12], and the width of
the stabilization zone is affected by the aperture angle and the length of the receiving nozzle.
Using the effect of cavitation stabilization allows to create two different classes of hydro devices: flow valves and
flow dividers.
Fluid mass flow stabilizers provide a constant speed of actuator motor at varying loads. They are analogous to the
well-known flow valves (flow regulators). First stabilizers were created on the basis of the Venturi tubes and nozzles
[10]. The main disadvantage of these stabilizers comparing with the flow valves is relation of mass flow of
stabilization, supply pressure and the geometry of the element. This requires a fluid mass flow stabilizer for
separately taken hydraulic system, as well as efficient methods of calculation and design. To eliminate these
drawbacks complex adjustable mass flow stabilizers on the basis of the Venturi tube were created [17], enabling to
set the desired mass flow of stabilization depending on the supply pressure (Fig. 2).
In 1985, Bocharov and Konovalov [18] proposed the use of a jet type element "pipe-pipe" as a fluid mass flow
stabilizer [3]. Jet element "pipe-pipe", unlike the Venturi tube has a hydraulic flow gap in the jet chamber, which
allows to change the stabilization mass flow by moving the nozzles. The main advantages of jet-cavitation fluid
mass flow stabilizers as compared to the flow valves are small weight and size, lack of spool pairs, high precision of
mass flow retention (2 – 3%), the ability to work at pressures above 300 bar.

Cavitation fluid flow dividers (Fig. 4) divide fluid flow into equal parts or at a given ratios, regardless the
receiving channels pressure and are analogous to the classic flow dividers. Using the effect of cavitation
stabilization of fluid mass flow for flow separation was proposed at the stand for testing the flow meters [19]. The
flow divider consisted of comb of Venturi tubes, providing a constant flow division at varying pressure in inlet
channels. A similar device was proposed in the other author's certificate [20] and it provides the flow split ratio
change. The accuracy of the cavitation flow divider coincides with retention of mass flow of stabilizer (2 – 3%) and
is higher than the accuracy of the spool flow divider (8 – 12%), but less than the accuracy of membrane flow divider
(0,5 – 1%). The advantage of the cavitation flow divider is that it provides an unlimited division, optional design
(housing or a circuit with valves), changeability of the division ratio, simple construction (no spool pairs).
Devices using the effect of cavitation stabilization of fluid mass flow may be structural components of more
complex units of hydraulic systems, for example, the electro-hydraulic servo drive (Fig. 5) with jet-cavitation control
[15].

The theoretical basis for the application of the effect of stabilization of fluid mass flow in the hydraulic drive was
established by Vladimir A. Tselischev in the concept of a jet-cavitation method of control of hydraulic drive. The
essence of the method is to create a local region of reduced pressure in jet flow distributor of hydraulic drive where
cavitation occurs, causing a rigid load of hydraulic motor.
Jet-cavitation method of control of hydraulic drive (Fig. 6) shows complete superiority over the throttle control
method and partial superiority over volumetric control method due to the effect of flow ejection.
Both analytical and numerical models can be used for calculating the effect of cavitation stabilization of fluid
mass flow. Current analytical models of calculation are created similarly to the hypothesis of "crisis" of vapor-liquid
two-phase flow [1, 2]. The hypothesis is based on the analogy with a critical flow of gas and suggests that the
cavitation liquid and gas mixture becomes critical in a specific section. At the same time the mass flow of
stabilization becomes constant and equals to:

     w 2  
G     av2 1  v v2    S ,
 l v   l wl   (1)
110 Sergey Y. Konstantinov et al. / Procedia Engineering 176 (2017) 107 – 117

where G is stabilization mass flow; α is a liquid volume fraction; β is a vapor volume fraction; ρl, ρv are density of
the liquid and vapor respectively; av is sound speed in the vapor; wv, wl are velocity of vapor and liquid respectively;
S is a critical section area. Mass flow of stabilization for this hypothesis is defined by volumetric proportions,
density and sound velocity of liquid and vapor, as it is often difficult and expensive to define them experimentally.
Alternative of an analytical calculation is a numerical modeling in computational fluid dynamics packages such as
ANSYS CFX [21]. As a rule, numerical methods of calculation are based on the continuum method with a
homogeneous layer of cells between the phases containing both liquid and gas. To calculate the mass transfer the
model taking into account viscosity of the fluid can be applied. It consists of vaporization (2) and condensation (3)
equations [21]:

where Fvap = 50; Fcond = 0,01; αnuc = 5 × 10-4; R0 = 10-6 meters; pl is saturated vapor pressure; p is pressure in the
solver, αv is vapor volume fraction; ρv is vapor density, μ is dynamic viscosity of the fluid. Numerical modeling
allows to calculate P-Q characteristics at the effect of cavitation stabilization of fluid mass flow with deviation from
the experiment not more than 5%, but achieving acceptable accuracy requires the use of a supercomputer, which
makes them unacceptable in engineering calculations.
Despite the fact that the possibility of using the effect of stabilization of fluid mass flow to create flow
stabilization devices of hydroautomatics was first suggested in the publications and patents in the 60 – 70 years XX
century, up to the present time there are no commercially available devices of hydroautomatics applying this effect.
The main reason for this is the imperfection of analytical methods of calculation of the hydraulic characteristics of
the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer.
The aim is the creation and testing of the analytical method for calculating the hydraulic characteristics of the jet-
cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer that solves the problem of calculation and design.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

It is necessary to consider the structure of fluid flow to create a method of analytical calculation of the hydraulic
characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer. The structure of fluid flow in the jet-cavitation fluid
mass flow stabilizer consists of a jet tube with d diameter (convergent nozzle) and a receiving nozzle (diffuser
nozzle), coaxially arranged at h distance between which there is a jet chamber, as shown in Fig. 7.
 Sergey Y. Konstantinov et al. / Procedia Engineering 176 (2017) 107 – 117 111

Fig. 7. The structure of the flow in the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer

Jet pipe forms axially symmetric turbulent jet with an almost rectangular speed profile by converting potential
energy of the liquid into kinetic one. Axially symmetric turbulent jet, consisting of the core and the jet boundary
layer enters the jet chamber, in which pressure pсh is maintained. The jet geometrical characteristics are defined by
the velocity profile in the core and in the jet boundary layer.
If the receiving diffuser nozzle of diameter drn is installed on the path of the jet at h distance, a portion of the jet
falls into the receiving nozzle and the flow through it will be determined by the flow through the core of the jet and
the jet boundary layer, which in its turn will be parietal. It is known that the boundary layer with thickness more
than 1 mm in a fluid near the wall is unsteady and breaks [9]. Thus, there are two possible ways of the fluid flow in
the receiving nozzle: 1) non-cavitational in which the boundary layer will take 1 – 1,2 mm along the length of the
receiving nozzle and disintegrate; 2) cavitational, in which the boundary layer will preserve up to the nozzle exit.
Cavitation bubbles in the receiving nozzle during cavitation are pushed from the core to the periphery, gathering
together in the area of the wall boundary layer, the density of which falls and stability increases. It allows to
preserve the boundary layer over the entire length of the receiving nozzle.
Mass flow stabilization effect arises due to the preservation of the boundary layer on the walls of the cavitation
element because of cavitation in the main stream. Stabilization mass flow is a mass flow at the outlet of the
receiving nozzle, determined by the mass flow through the jet core and boundary layer at a distance h from the jet
pipe in section with a maximum thickness of the boundary layer (at equilibrium process of vaporization and
condensation).
Thus, stabilization mass flow is determined only by the geometry of the jet element and velocity of the jet core,
which depends on the pressure at the inlet of the jet pipe. When the inlet pressure changes the speed also becomes
variable that does not allow the flow to stabilize. If the receiving nozzle diameter becomes larger than the diameter
of the jet, the mass flow gets into the receiving nozzle beside the jet, due to the ejection of fluid from the jet
chamber. Mass flow is determined by the pressure difference between the jet chamber and the outlet of the jet-
cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer. Stabilization zone width over the pressure is determined by the beginning of
cavitation and hydraulic resistance diffuser nozzle.
The proposed structure of the flow and the hypothesis of preservation of the boundary layer by the mass flow
stabilization effect enabled to calculate the hydraulic characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer.
That allows to determine the stabilization mass flow, stabilization zone width, the pressure of blocking the receiving
nozzle and to plot P-Q characteristic curve.

The aim of the analytical method of calculation of the hydraulic characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass
flow stabilizer is to determine stabilization mass flow, stabilization zone width, the pressure of “choking” of the
nozzle and to receive P-Q characteristics.
To achieve the goal five stages are performed: 1) initializing; 2) calculation of the mass flow of stabilization
according to the theory of free turbulent submerged jets; 3) the transition from the jet flow model in the receiving
nozzle to the one-dimensional; 4) the calculation of the width of the stabilization zone; 5) receiving P-Q
characteristics.
The first stage is initializing:
1. Geometrical characteristics of the jet element: diameter of jet pipe d; nondimensional diameter 𝑑̅, distance
between the nozzles ℎ; aperture angle β and the length l for the conical receiving nozzle.
2. Hydrodynamic characteristics of the jet element: inlet pressure pin; pressure in jet chamber pch.
3. Fluid properties: density ρ.
4. Flow coefficient of jet pipe μ.
The second stage allows to calculate the mass flow of stabilization of the jet element. It consists of three steps:
1) calculation of the flow rate through the jet pipe Q and outflow velocity of jet ux:

2) calculation of the diameter of the jet d jet and the core diameter dcore at a distance ℎ between the nozzles,
considering the geometric parameters of the jet [24]:

3) calculation of mass flow of stabilization Qst considering the universal power profile of the velocity for
turbulent jets [25] by the formula:

At the last stage the construction of P-Q characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer is
performed.

3. RESULTS

The developed method of analytical calculation is verified by experiments [5] for the jet-cavitation fluid mass
flow stabilizers with various geometrical characteristics of stabilization mass flow and with P-Q characteristic
curves.
The results obtained by the method, in comparison with the mass flow of stabilization experiment for the
different pressures at the inlet and in the jet chamber are presented in Tab. 1.

Verification results for the stabilization mass flow shows that the relative error of method σ does not exceed 4%.
The obtained P-Q curves of jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer d = 1,6 mm; 𝑑̅ = 1,25; ℎ = 0,93 are shown in
Fig. 8.

experiment the experiment

Analysis of P-Q characteristic curves (Fig. 8) shows that the maximum error does not exceed 5%, and the
calculation error of the stabilization mass flow is not more than 4,5% for 80 bar and not more than 2,5% for 100 bar.
Experimental P-Q characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer with d = 1,612 mm; 𝑑̅ = 1,25;
ℎ= 1,179 were compared with the results of calculation using the method (see Fig. 9).
Analysis of the received P-Q characteristics (see Fig. 9) shows that the deviation from the experiment by mass
flow of stabilization is 1,86%, and the entire P-Q characteristic is 3,8%.

In general, verification shows good agreement between the method for analytical calculation of the hydraulic
characteristics of jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer and experiment.
The developed method allows to investigate the effect of geometrical parameters of jet-cavitation fluid mass flow
stabilizer determining stabilization mass flow: a non-dimensional diameter 𝑑̅ and the non-dimensional distance
between nozzles ℎ.
To create the effect of stabilization of fluid mass flow according to the proposed flow structure non-dimensional
parameters must meet the following requirements:

d 1
 h  4, 47, (13)
0,316
0  d  1  0,316  h .

Influence of non-dimensional parameters on the mass flow of stabilization taking into account (13) is presented
on Fig. 10.

dimensional distance between the nozzles ℎ on the non-dimensional mass flow of stabilization with 𝑄 at 𝑑̅ = 1 + 0,316ℎ

The study of the influence of geometrical and hydraulic parameters on the mass flow of stabilization show that
with increasing 𝑑̅ observed mass flow stabilization increase at constant dimensionless distance ℎ (Fig. 10, a), and
with increasing ℎ observed mass flow stabilization increase up to a critical value, followed by a decrease (Fig. 10,b).
The most interesting is the study of the influence of ℎ with the ratio
𝑑̅ = 1 + 0,316ℎ (see Fig. 10, c), as in this case the maximum non-dimensional mass flow of stabilization through
jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer equal to 1,74 can be achieved.
Study of the influence of geometric parameters on the width of the stabilization zone shows (Fig. 11, 12) that
with increasing of aperture angle β of the receiving nozzle and the non-dimensional length of the receiving nozzle
𝑙 ̅ = 𝑙⁄𝑑 the non-dimensional width of the stabilization zone Δ 𝑝̅ = Δ𝑝 ⁄𝑝 decreases.
To increase the width of the stabilization zone it is necessary to reduce the aperture angle and the length of the
receiving nozzle in accordance with formulas (10) and (11). Maximum non-dimensional width of the stabilization
zone is 0,64 – 0,74 and is determined by the profile of the receiving nozzle.

4. DISCUSSION

The proposed hypothesis of the boundary layer preservation during the cavitation can explain the reason of the
effect of stabilization of fluid mass flow in the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer. The hypothesis is based on
the flow structure, as opposed to the hypothesis of "crisis" of vapor-liquid two-phase flow [1, 2]. Thereby it allows
to create an entirely new method of analytical calculation of hydraulic characteristics.
A new analytical method for calculating the hydraulic characteristics of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow
stabilizer differs fundamentally from existing methods, based on the hypothesis of "crisis" of vapor-liquid two-phase
flow [1, 2]. The new method uses the theory of turbulent jets, boundary flows, and hydraulic resistances, that allows
to calculate the mass flow of stabilization and the width zone in a high-range pressure up to 300 bar with an
acceptable deviation from the experiment within 5%.
Comparison of analytical method of the hydraulic characteristics calculation with results of numerical simulation
[6, 21] shows the advantage of using the analytical method of calculation against the numerical simulation with the
same accuracy as well as the limitation during the calculation of the width of stabilization zone, caused by the
determination of the coefficient of hydraulic resistance of the receiving nozzle.
The study of the influence of geometrical and hydraulic parameters on the mass flow of stabilization and the
width of stabilization zone, with the use of the proposed method, agree with the results of Arzumanov [23], Nazarov
[14], Lysenko [10], Mansurov [11], Tselischev [5], and that also confirms the correctness of the proposed method of
calculation.

5. CONCLUSION

Examination of devices using the effect of stabilization of fluid mass flow, allowed to choose the most promising
design of jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer - the jet element of the "nozzle-nozzle" type for which the method
of analytical calculation of hydraulic characteristics was proposed, and structural and hydraulic parameters effect on
the mass flow of stabilization and the width of stabilization zone was studied.
The hypothesis of "crisis" of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow allows to calculate the mass flow of stabilization at
pressures up to 10 bar with reasonable accuracy. The error of the hypothesis grows when the pressure at the inlet is
increasing due to the empirical determination of the concentration and vapor velocity of the flow during the
cavitation.

Based on the flow structure in the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer the hypothesis of preservation of the
boundary layer during the effect of cavitation stabilization of fluid mass flow has been proposed. To verify the
hypothesis the analytical method of calculation of the jet-cavitation fluid mass flow stabilizer has been developed.
Verification of the developed method of analytical calculation of the hydraulic characteristics showed that the
error of calculation of the mass flow of stabilization in comparison with experiments does not exceed 4%, which is
within the permissible error. This new method of analytical calculation forces to abandon the numerical simulation
of cavitation flow due to a faster calculation of the stabilizer.
Assessing the influence of the non-dimensional geometrical parameters of the jet element on mass flow of
stabilization has shown that, it is possible to change the non-dimensional mass flow of stabilization up to 1,74
without altering nozzles geometry.
