Cavitation on Ship Propellers
Summary:
Cavitation is the transition of a fluid into vapour due to local reduction of pressure which is generated by high local flow velocities. The transition of a fluid into vapour also occurs during cooking of water by an increase of the local temperature. The term cavitation is generally reserved for conditions in which the temperature of the bulk fluid is not changed.
Although cavitation can occur in many situations this course focuses on ship hydrodynamics and ship propellers. The course
