Numerical study of effects of geometric parameters on the flow and cavitation characteristics inside conical nozzle of autonomous underwater vehicles

The geometric parameters (ratio of orifice’s length to diameter, conical angle, and inner-wall roughness) of conical nozzle are investigated via computational fluid dynamic method to reveal the effect on the flow and cavitation characteristics. The variation of geometric parameters affects the distr...
