In hydraulic turbines, cavitation has unwanted consequences such as vibrations, noise, or material degradation. Thus, developping a method which can anticipate this phenomenon with good accuracy is vital from the designer’s perspective. This work aims at predicting two aspects of cavitation erosion: determining areas most endangered, and quantifying cavitation erosion in a relative way.
