As part of the final task, we performed experimental measurements for the needs of the development of the measurement test part, where a supercavitation cloud will be formed. Different geometries were designed in the model (SolidWorks) from acrylic glass. We designed an experimental track on which we performed measurements, then analyzed the results. The measuring track made it possible to quickly and easily change the different geometries of the test parts. The cavitation cloud formed in the test section was characterized by pressure conditions before and after the test section, measurements of fluid flow through the test section, and visualization using a high-speed camera. The purpose of the task was to describe the different geometries of the Venturi constrictions for the formation of a supercavitation cloud. We wanted to develop a supercavitation cloud that would occupy as much of the flow channel volume as possible within the constriction.
