Abstract

The contribution deals with the ways of the illumination of the cavitating jet for the purposes of the visualization. The cavitation is induced by the fluid flow through the orifice with the diameter of 0,3mm. Region of the cavitating jet is illuminated by a different light sources. Goal of this paper is to compare the quality and the informative value of the obtained visual data. In addition, complicated structure of the cavitating jet is also shown and described.
