Abstract: An experimental procedure has been developed which makes possible accurate and reproducible determinations of cavitation damage. This procedure has been applied to a study of the effect of ...

Abstract: Cavitation erosion rates in the organic liquids formamide, ethanol, acetone, and glycerol are compared with the rate in distilled water. As is to be expected, these non-ionizing liquids, which ...

Abstract: Cavitation damage is studied for several materials over a range of temperatures in the cavitating liquid from 0 C to 90 deg C. The cavitating liquids used were distilled water, distilled water ...

Abstract: The collapse of pure vapor bubbles in an infinite liquid initially perturbed from a spherical shape is simulated numerically for two cases. In Case A the bubble is initially close to a prolate ...

Abstract: It has been proposed in some recent publications that the cavitation damage rate decreases markedly in solids after long exposure to cavitation. It has also been proposed that this low rate ...

Abstract: A theory is developed from first principles which includes all the important physical processes which affect the frequency of the free oscillations of a gas bubble. The components of the ...
