Cavitation and entrainment in a downcomer entrance

Two-phase instabilities have been observed at a downcomer entrance in an experimental rig that drains near-saturated Freon-11 from a vessel. The regimes have been characterized using dimensionless parameters describing the pool depth, downcomer flowrate and the subcooling at the liquid interface in...
