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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Aug 29, 2025 · Cavitation is a phenomenon involving the rapid formation and collapse of vapor bubbles within a liquid. It occurs in various settings, from industrial machinery to biological systems.

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 …

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 …

Apr 1, 2025 · Definition: Cavitation occurs when the liquid in a pump turns to a vapor at low pressure. It occurs because there is not enough pressure at the suction end of the pump, or insufficient Net …

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 generally …

Cavitation occurs when the static pressure of a liquid drops below its vapor pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities or “bubbles” within the liquid.
