An improvement is introduced to the conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) phase change scheme presented previously. The improvement addresses a well known weakness in numerical simulations of the enthalpy method when the Stefan number, (the ratio of sensible to latent heat) is small (less than 0.1). Behavior of the improved scheme, at the limit of small Stefan numbers, is studied and compared with that of the original scheme. It is shown that high dissipative errors, associated with small Stefan numbers, do not occur using the new scheme.

Similarity Law

The scaling law of bubble cluster collapse in cloud cavitating flow around a slender projectile is investigated in the present paper. The influence of compressibility is mainly discussed. Firstly the governing parameters are obtained by dimensional analysis, and the numerical method is established in order to verify the similarity law and obtain the influence of parameters based on a mixture approach with Singhal cavitation model. Moreover, the similarity law is validated by numerical simulations. Two main factors of compressibility of mixture fluid, including compressibility of non-condensable gas and phase change, are studied, respectively. Results indicated that the phase change has little influence on both flowing and collapse pressure. In the condition that the variation range of the mixture compressibility is small, the compressibility of non-condensable gas has notable impact the local collapse pressure peaks, however the macroscopic flow pattern does not change.
