Abstract
This paper aims to clarify peculiar phenomena arising around a ultra high-speed submerged water jet accompanied by very severe cavitation. By means of a flow visualization technique with a xenon flash light, three kinds of water jets are carefully observed, and the spatial distributions of cavitation-pressure pulses around the jets are also measured with pressure-sensitive film. The effects of the working pressure and the shape of nozzles are clarified systematically. Thus, the characteristics and the structures of ultra high-speed cavitating submerged water jets are clearly shown.
