Evolution of incipient cavitation around two cylinders with different headforms

Incipient cavitating flows around two axisymmetric bodies with blunt and conical headforms respectively are investigated both experimentally and numerically. The Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) defined by the ridges of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) method are employed to investigate...
