We numerically investigate the erosion potential of a cavitating liquid jet by means of high-resolution finite volume simulations. As thermodynamic model, we employ a barotropic equilibrium cavitation approach, embedded into a homogeneous mixture model. To resolve the effects of collapsing vapor structures and to estimate the erosion potential, full compressibility is considered. Two different operating points featuring different cavitation intensities are investigated and their erosion potential is estimated and compared. Different methods are used for this purpose, including collapse detection (Mihatsch et al., 2015), maximum pressure distribution on the wall, and a new method of generating numerical pit equivalents. The data of numerical pit equivalents is analyzed in detail and compared with experimental data from the literature. Furthermore, a comprehensive grid study for both operating points is presented.
