Functions/Subroutines
subroutine	cavitation_model_init
	Initialize Fortran cavitation model API. This maps Fortran pointers to global C structure members and indicator. More...

subroutine	cavitation_compute_source_term (pressure, voidf)
	Compute the vaporization source term $\Gamma_V \left(\alpha, p\right) = m^+ + m^-$ using the Merkle model: $m^+ = -\dfrac{C_{prod} \rho_l \min \left( p-p_V,0 \right)\alpha(1-\alpha)} {0.5\rho_lu_\infty^2t_\infty},$ $m^- = -\dfrac{C_{dest} \rho_v \max \left( p-p_V,0 \right)\alpha(1-\alpha)} {0.5\rho_lu_\infty^2t_\infty},$ with $C_{prod}, C_{dest}$ empirical constants, $t_\infty=l_\infty/u_\infty$ a reference time scale and the reference saturation pressure. $l_\infty$ , $u_\infty$ and may be provided by the user (user function). Note that the r.h.s. of the void fraction transport equation is $\Gamma_V/\rho_v$ . More...

subroutine	cavitation_correct_visc_turb (crom, voidf, visct)
	Modify eddy viscosity using the Reboud correction: $\mu_t'= \dfrac{\rho_v + (1-\alpha)^{mcav}(\rho_l-\rho_v)}{\rho}\mu_t.$ . More...
