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 pistol shrimp, as well …

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 wear, tear …

Mar 18, 2024 · Cavitation comes from vapor bubbles collapsing inside a liquid, sending shockwaves throughout the liquid. The vapor bubbles are created when there is a local pressure drop below the …

The phenomenon of cavitation consists in the disruption of continuity in the liquid where there is considerable local reduction of pressure. By understanding the cavitation mechanisms, we can …

How cavitation forms and which consequences are to expect? This E-Learning video answers these questions in a understandable form!

Cavitation is defined as the process of formation of the vapor phase of a liquid when it is subjected to re- duced pressures at constant ambient temperature. Thus, it is the process of boiling in a liquid as a …

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 centrifugal …

May 10, 2025 · Cavitation in fluid flow is a phenomenon where vapor bubbles form in a liquid due to a sudden drop in pressure below the liquid’s vapor pressure. These bubbles collapse violently when …

Aug 29, 2025 · Cavitation is a destructive phenomenon in pumps that occurs when the liquid pressure drops below its vapor pressure, leading to the formation of vapor bubbles (also called cavities) within …

May 29, 2024 · Cavitation is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics where vapor bubbles form in a liquid at low pressure areas and collapse in higher pressure areas, leading to various effects, some of which …
