Abstract

Cavitation, the rupture of liquids, is one of the longstanding problems in hydrodynamics as well as acoustics. It is first mentioned, as far as is known today, by Leonhard Euler in 1754 in his work on the theory of turbines [1]. But it was not until 150 years later, at the turn of the century, that it really became a problem in connection with ship propellers. Nowadays, cavitation presents a problem in all kinds of hydraulic machinery, especially ship propellers, turbines, pumps, and hydrofoils. This type of cavitation is called hydraulic cavitation [2].
