ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a low flow, low Reynolds number cavitating venturi. This cavitating venturi includes an inlet for receiving a liquid at an upstream pressure and an outlet for discharging the liquid received by the inlet at a downstream pressure. The liquid passes through a converging portion having a converging sidewall which extends from said inlet, through a throat portion having a throat sidewall and a diverging diffuser portion having a diverging sidewall. The cavitating venturi provides a substantially stable liquid flow rate independent of the downstream pressure up to a downstream pressure at least as high as 80% of the upstream pressure at a Reynolds number of 60,000 or less.
