Setting Material Properties

In the cavitation window, open the Continua node.

The color of the Injector node has turned from gray to blue to indicate that models have been activated.

Open the Injector node and then the Models node.

The selected models now appear within that node.

Open the Multi-Phase Fluid and Fluid Mixture nodes.

There are currently no materials defined in the Phases node.

Right-click on the Phases node and select New Gas Phase > Air (Air) to create a new node named Air.

Right-click on the Phases node again and select New Liquid Phase > H2O (Water) to create a new node named H2O

If you were setting up a standard free-surface problem, these two phases would be all that is needed. However, because this problem involves cavitation, we have to define a phase for the product of cavitation, i.e. water vapor.

Right-click on the Phases node a third time and select New Gas Phase > H2O (Water) to create a new node named H2O 2

Right-click on this node and select Rename....

In the Rename dialog, change the name of the water vapor to H2O (G) and then click OK.

The default material properties for the three phases are suitable for this problem so we will now proceed to Defining Cavitation Model Parameters.

Save the simulation.
