Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    The Role Of "Nuclei" In Tip Vortex Cavitation Inception
    (St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory, 1986-08) Arndt, Roger E. A.; Arakeri, Vijay H.
    An analysis of the recently obtained 01 values for tip vortex cavitation inception from an elliptical planform hydrofoil is presented. This includes the estimation of critical a values for nuclei supply from the facility and separated regions on the foil. When measured 0i values are compared to these critical a values, certain obvious trends are noted. These have been used to estimate the dominant nuclei size at inception and are found to be surprisingly small. Thus, it is found that their role should be carefully examined in analyzing present inception data.
