The purpose of this experimental study was to analyze a 2D
cavitating shear layer. The global aim of this work was a better
understanding and modeling of cavitation phenomena from a
2D turbulent shear flow to rocket engine turbopomp inducers.
This 2D mixing layer flow provided us a well documented
test case to be used for comparison between the behavior with
and without cavitation. Similarities and differences led to
characterize effects of the cavitation on the flow dynamic.
