Dynamics of a bounded gas cavity in a pipe

The dynamics of a gas cavity formed in a pipe in the zone of flow separation behind a cavitating body, and bounded by a diaphragm mounted at a pipeline exit, is considered. A mathematical model is proposed, on the basis of which the stability of the flow under consideration is investigated.Translated from Inzhenerno-fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 61, No. 4, pp. 578–585, October, 1991.
