Methods and systems provide a simulation of cavitation damage. In one
implementation, a computer-implemented method simulates a potential for
cavitation damage. According to the method, data defining a modeled
component is imported to a flow solver tool. The flow solver tool
simulates a liquid that flows through the modeled component. Voids
created by the flow of the liquid cause a plurality of vapor implosion
pressure events. The method further includes displaying a histogram
showing a portion of the modeled component. On the histogram, locations
of the plurality of vapor implosion pressure events are visually
distinguishable on a surface of the portion of the modeled component.
