Abstract
In visualization results of highly-submerged cavitating water jet obtained by a digital camera, the influence of parameters such as: injection pressure, nozzle diameter and geometry, nozzle mounting (for convergent / divergent flow), cavitation number and exit jet velocity, were investigated. In addition, the influence of visualization system position was studied. All the parameters have been found to be of strong influence on the jet appearance and performance
