Hi ! I read on the Simscale website that the reference pressure in the cavitation model is used to calculate the density. Is this pressure the same as the inlet pressure in the pump or does it have a different meaning? I am asking this question because I used the cavitation model in cryogenic fluids…

Hi @t_vaggos007 , from my understanding this is simply the baseline pressure from which you retrieve the fluid’s properties

Hi @t_vaggos007 , thanks for posting on the forum! I can double check this with the team, however, from the documentation : Cavitation is typically modeled as an extension of the variable density Navier Stokes equations with an additional transport equation for the gaseous phase. This is coupled to…

Τhank very much. I don’t have some project to run. I just want to understand the pressure on the image that I circled [Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης (840)] I just want to know theoretically if it’s possible.
