Hi, I am trying to simulate an ac75 hydrofoil section (5mm thick profile) and would like to do such simulation in order to visualize water cavitation. what simulation should I use? multi-purpose or multiphase? And what boundary conditions should I set? Thank you.

Hi!
I’m not super familiar with this type of design, but do you expect pressures to drop so much to a point where cavitation may happen? Or do you mean air entrainment into the water domain?
If you want to simulate actual cavitation (pressure dropping under saturation pressure), then the only solver that can do it is multi-purpose. This is an add-on solver that professional users may choose to add to their subscription.
If it’s air entrainment, then this would be a multiphase simulation - this thread might be of interest, if that is the case.
Cheers
