Progress in the application of multiscale simulation methods in cavitation and cavitation erosion research
Abstract
Computational simulation serves as a powerful tool for investigating cavitation and cavitation erosion phenomena. This paper systematically reviews the recent advances in simulation methods across various scales within cavitation and cavitation erosion research, with a particular focus on the applications of quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, mesoscopic dynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. The main challenges and current trends in this field are comprehensively discussed. Finally, this paper summarizes the review and offers recommendations for the future development of multiscale coupling, aiming to provide forward-looking references for further research into the mechanisms of cavitation and cavitation erosion.
