A preconditioned numerical method for gas-liquid two-phase flows is applied to solve cavitating flow. The present method employs a finite-difference method of the dual time-stepping integration procedure and Roe’s flux difference splitting approximation with the MUSCL-TVD scheme. A homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model is used. The present density-based numerical method permits simple treatment of the whole gas-liquid two-phase flow field, including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristics at low Mach number. Two-dimensional internal flows through a backward-facing step duct, convergent-divergent nozzles and decelerating cascades are computed using this method. Comparisons of predicted and experimental results are provided and discussed.
