One of the additives in antifreeze helps stop air bubble formation and suppresses cavitation so the cooling system will get less pitting ,since you're running straight water that's probably why you have more air bubbles than normal. At least that's my guess . Wilco

How about a clear radiator cap and clear radiator neck with the overflow hose? It'll be interesting to see what it looks like when the pressure exceeds the cap rating causing the radiator to dump coolant into the overflow and then sucking it back in the radiator when it cools down 😁 (could be incredibly dangerous though 😬)

The top port is not being closed as it would in a normal housing. It's only opening the bottom. That disc that moves up when it gets hot would seat on a surface to close the bypass port. You get the idea here though. I would like to see if it sets a particular rate of flow on a highway drive.

the most fascinating part was the after the engine shut off part, where the fluid kept flowing. all my years around cars I never stopped to think that after shutting it off that there might still be any flow. I wondered how the engine never ran into thermal runaway once you shut it off and that mechanical pump stopped. I always wanted to buy a electrical pump to keep the flow going for a bit after shutting off the engine but thanks to this, I now know that would not have mattered all that much. awesome.

Like a boatpropeller make bubbles due to the difference in pressure on the opposite sides of the blades, the waterpumpimpeller make the same effect. The more the engine revs, the worse the effect will get! Eliminate the surface tension will help a little, but optimal coolingfluid aviable is in fact a special oil. This will also help the engine get to a more efficient working temperature as it's not limited to a certain temperature to avoid more bubbles that decrease efficiness. A aluminiumhead for example does not warp at 120 degree celcius, but there is only air in the waterjacket that allow a higher temp on the combustionside of the head than the camshaft side that create the tension that warp. Cast Iron does not warp, so there the clearings of fittings decrease and pinch (if oil gets hot enough to make itself solid) camshaft or (most likely) piston. You should test and put oil in coolingsystem to check it out!

The right circulation is when the big circuit opens, the small should close. This is how it is on a stock Lada thermostat. Otherwise as you can see the water flows primarily from the small circuit as it has less resistance to flow.

I think it will be a gradual motion. Not an instantanious switchover. A gradual changeover will allow a perfect ratio to settle. For example, on a cold day idling 100% may be in bypass. But on a hot day idling maybe 90% bypass and 10% radiator. Just my hypothesis.

Well, what thats all about its, One thermostats have a tiny hole in them to allow some bypass. They also, open and close depending on the temp... So if you were riding the thermostat specification line, that would be why. Given the Odd way you incorporated it, Its possible the unnatural flow is having something to do with that. OR its just how a Lada operates. Ive never seen one of these cars in the states, much less had to work on one.

The idea is good, but it was not very clear where the liquid is moving or where it should move, because the top hose was not transparent. It could be better if you could add maybe some arrows showing how the liquid should move in one loop and the other. It looks like before the thermostat was open the liquid moved from the top hose to the upper right hose. Then after it opens it looks like the liquid is moving from the bottom right hose to the upper right hose, but it is not clear what is happening with the top hose. Moreover, you could add some thermometers to the tubes which would show the temperature of liquids in each tube
