In this study, water experiments were performed in the 1/22 scaled upper plenum model of JSFR. Occurrence behavior of vortex cavitation was grasped quantitatively by means of the visualization and image analyses under several conditions of kinematic viscosity $$nu$$) and pressure ($$P$$). The experimental results showed that the vortex cavitation has dependence on the variation of $$nu$$ and P. The increase of $$nu$$ at least in the present small model, leaded to the restriction of cavitation as assumed by Burgers model. And also, the restriction level of vortex cavitation according to the increase $$P$$ was smaller than the evaluation using cavitation factor.
