Abstract
The transient process accompanied by extreme acceleration in conical sections of hydraulic systems (e.g., draft tube, diffuser) can induce large cavitation bubbles both at the closed ends and in the bulk liquid. The collapses of the large cavitation bubbles can cause severe damage to the solid walls. We conduct experiments in the tubes with different conical-frustum shaped closed ends with the “tube-arrest” method and observe bubbles generated at these two locations. For the bubbles generated at the close end of the tube, we propose the onset criteria, consisting of two universal non-dimensional parameters Ca1 and Ca2, of large cavitation bubbles separating the water column. We investigate their dynamics including the collapse time and speed. The results indicate that the larger the conical angle, the faster the bubbles collapse. For the bubbles generated in the bulk liquid, we numerically study the collapse time, the jet characteristics, and the pressure pulse at the bubble collapse. We observe a much stronger jet and pressure pulse of bubbles in tubes, comparing with a bubble near an infinite plate. Our results can provide guidance in the design and safe operation of hydraulic machinery with complex geometries, considering the cavitation during the transient process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
