Abstract
The Floberg-Jakobsson-Olsson cavitation theory is implemented using a massconservative algorithm to accurately predict the behavior of cavitation in flat surfaces enhanced with dimples. The multigrid method is used to accelerate the convergence speed. Comparison is made on different cavitation theories. The results reveal that the load-carrying capacity of dimple-enhanced surfaces is limited under the simulated conditions. © 2009 by ASME.
