Abstract
Cavitation is a physical phenomenon associated with three aspects: formation, growth, and collapse of vapor or gas–vapor bubbles within the body of a liquid due to variations in local static pressure. Decreasing the pressure over a liquid and bringing it to its vapor pressure at the operating temperature generate vapor bubbles in the liquid.
