Title: Stalking cavitation in the lab

Journal Article · · Hydro Review; (United States)
OSTI ID:5208366

This article describes laboratory equipment for acoustic monitoring of cavitation in hydraulic turbines. The system uses acoustic transducers. The signals from the transducers are filtered and amplified, then analyzed and recorded with a computer using an 8-bit analog-to-digital waveform acquisition board. The signal are also provided to a wideband converter chip. The chip produces an directly related to the power of the signal. Erosion rates are determined from the signal output.
