Abstract: This paper is a review of existing knowledge on cavitation nuclei. The lack of significant tensions in ordinary liquids is due to so-called weak spots or cavitation nuclei. The various forms ...

Abstract: Measurements of the shedding frequency and spacing of cavitating vortex street wakes have been made for four wedge models having apex angles of 15, 30, 60, and 90 deg. The wake pattern made ...

Abstract: In many cases, cavitation disappears at higher pressures than those at which it first appears. A measure of this cavitation hysteresis is the cavitation-delay time which tends to decrease with ...

Abstract: Scale effects on cavitation are defined here as departures from the classical similarity relations when changing size, velocity, and/or properties of the fluid. The various phenomena governing ...

Abstract: This study focused on two aspects of the cavitation damage problem, namely an energy approach to the scaling of cavitation damage in the incubation zone and damage near the leading edge of ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to study the desinent cavitation characteristics of various sizes of two-dimensional triangular and circular arc protrusions in a turbulent boundary layer ...
