  1. Cavitation - Wikipedia

    Such cavitation is often employed in ultrasonic cleaning baths and can also be observed in pumps, propellers, etc. Since the shock waves formed by collapse of the voids are strong …

  2. Cavitation | Pressure, Ultrasound, Bubbles | Britannica

    Oct 16, 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 …

  3. Cavitation - The Engineering ToolBox

    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 …

  4. What Is Cavitation? - Pumps & Systems

    Aug 25, 2021 · In the simplest possible terms, cavitation involves the formation of water vapor bubbles that damage metal components when they collapse back to the liquid phase.

  5. Cavitation | Causes, Effects & Prevention in Fluid Mechanics

    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, …

  6. Cavitation: Causes, Effects, and Solutions | The Armoloy Corporation

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

  7. What Is Cavitation - Electrical Engineering Center

    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.

  8. Cavitation: Causes, Effects, Solutions – CFD Simulation

    Cavitation in pump systems happens when the pressure at the pump inlet falls below the liquid’s vapor pressure, forming cavitation bubbles that collapse and cause cavitation erosion on …

  9. Cavitation and Cavitation Erosion: An In-Depth Analysis

    While cavitation refers to the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid, cavitation erosion describes the damage caused by these collapses. Both phenomena can lead to …

  10. Cavitation: Definition, How to Detect and How to Prevent

    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 …
