The cavitation model has been thoroughly validated for a wide range of operating conditions and nozzle designs. Representative examples are given below.

1. Cavitation visualisation inside a 6-hole large-scale Diesel mini-sac transparent injector

a. CCD images and corresponding model predictions of cavitation inside the hole of the Diesel multi-hole nozzle with concentric needle, as seen from four different views .

2. LDV flow measurements inside a 6-hole large-scale Diesel mini-sac transparent injector

3. Cavitation visualisation inside a 6-hole real-size Diesel mini-sac injector incorporating a quartz window and allowing for cavitation images to be taken

4. Cavitation visualisation and volume fraction measurements using CT inside a large-scale single-hole nozzle

5. Cavitation visualisation and discharge coefficient measurements inside axisymmetric single-hole real-size nozzles with different hydrogrinding levels
