Cavitation in two-dimensional oil hydraulic choke.

Two-dimensional bubble clustering in hydraulic jumps

Xylem cavitation and loss of hydraulic conductance in western

erophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) seedlings experience water stress and declining xylem pressure potential (Ψx). Low Ψx can result in xylem cavitation and embolism formation, causing a decline in hydraulic conductance. This study focused on the relationship between Ψx, xylem cavitation and transpiration (E) of newly planted seedlings. Leaf specific hydraulic conductance (kAB) declined from 0.56 to 0.09 m...

Investigation on Cavitation Behavior and Noise in Hydraulic Valves

Cavitations inside hydraulic valves were investigated by using high-speed camera technology and noise spectrum analyzing method. The bubble flow’s morphological and flowing characteristics were converted into numerical information by the employment of image process, which made the two-phase flow easily identifiable. Based on this, cavitation’s distribution and shape characteristics were reveale...

Interaction between two laser-induced cavitation bubbles in a quasi-two dimensional geometry

Effective saturated hydraulic conductivity of two-dimensional random multifractal fields

[1] A means of upscaling the effective saturated hydraulic conductivity, hKi, based on spatial variation in the saturated hydraulic conductivity (K) field is essential for the application of flow and transport models to practical problems. Multifractals are inherently scaling and thus may offer solutions to this dilemma. Random two-dimensional geometrical multifractal fields (multifractal Sierp...
