Direct numerical evidence of stress-induced cavitation

What is it about?

In this work, a robust criterion to prove the onset of cavitation inside orifices is proposed. Such criterion is based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method.

Why is it important?

It is the first time that the Lattice Boltzmann Method has been applied to a problem of large technical interest, such as the caveating conditions rising inside diesel injector nozzles.
