Modeling the Performance and Failure of Elastomeric Coatings Under Erosive Cavitating Flows

abstract: Finite element simulations modeling the hydrodynamic impact loads subjected to an elastomeric coating were performed to develop an understanding of the performance and failure mechanisms of protective coatings for cavitating environments. In this work, two major accomplishments were ach...
