Inertial (or transient) cavitation is the process in which a void or bubble in a liquid rapidly collapses, producing a shock wave. It occurs in nature in the strikes of mantis shrimp and …

Dec 23, 2025 · Cavitation, formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid at low-pressure regions that occur in places where the liquid has been accelerated to high velocities, as in the operation of …

Cavitation occurs in fluid flow systems where the local static pressures are below the fluids vapor pressure. Cavitation is a common problem in pumps and control valves - causing serious …

Dec 18, 2024 · Learn the basics of cavitation: causes, effects, and solutions for industries relying on pumps, turbines, and fluid dynamics.

Dec 22, 2025 · Cavitation is a phenomenon in which small cavities are generated in a liquid. It occurs when the local static pressure is lower than the vapor pressure of the gas dissolved in …

Common causes of cavitation are pressure fluctuations associated with the flow of the liquid and the vibration of a surface in contact with it. Unlike other kinds of damage, vapor cavitation is …

The phenomenon of cavitation —the formation and collapse of tiny gas bubbles due to changes in pressure—was considered an undesirable and largely uncontrollable side effect.
