The object of this study is the process of generating cavitation pressure fluctuations behind the throttle device at high-head throttling of liquid. This paper addressed the problem of calculating the amplitude of cavitation pressure fluctuations at high-pressure liquid throttling. It was established that cavitation pressure fluctuations are a consequence of collisions of discrete masses of a transiting liquid jet in the region of pressure recovery. The range of cavitation pressure fluctuations reaches the pressure values at the inlet to the throttle device. The frequency band of cavitation pressure fluctuations is in the range from 1.5 to 20 kHz and higher. At high-head throttling of the liquid, caverns attached to the surface of the throttle channel, moving caverns and small bubbles in the transit flow are formed. Moving caverns compress the transit flow and divide it into separate fluid blocks. In the region of pressure restoration, the moving caverns are slammed shut and discrete fluid blocks collide. This causes high-frequency pressure fluctuations. Special feature of the results is the possibility of estimating the range of cavitation pressure fluctuations depending on the pressure drop on the throttle device. When the back pressure on the throttle device increases, the amplitude of cavitation pressure fluctuations decreases, and the frequency band shifts to the high-frequency region. The results make it possible to calculate the range of cavitation oscillations, to predict the development of cavitation erosion of materials depending on the parameters of throttling of the working fluid. The results of the work are used to design devices for cleaning products from contamination, for determining the volume content of water in aviation fuel, for intensification of technological processes in the chemical and food industries.
