Cavitation inception observations on two axisymmetric headforms were made in the DTNSRDC 36-inch water tunnel. The results indicate that cavitation inception on a headform with natural flow transition is significantly affected by the air content of the water. The effect of air content on cavitation inception on a headform with laminar separation is less pronounced. Visible cavitation inception never occurred at the locations of minimum static pressure but was observed to occur in the region of natural transition and the separated shear layer following laminar separation. It is concluded that both the viscous effects and cavitatable microbubble population are extremely important parameters governing the cavitation inception process. (Author).

Cavitation inception observations were made in the DTNSRDC 36-inch water tunnel on three axisymmetric headforms with and without various turbulence stimulators installed. Direct measurements of transition, made on two of the headforms with and wothout distributed surface roughness, were found to correlate reasonably well with the computed spatial amplification factors, e to the Nth power with 7

This text deals with the concept that cavitation is the main limitation to the performance of hydraulic components. Topics covered include the vaporization of liquids due to high velocities or pressure fluctuations, and the effects of cavitation on the performances of rotary machinery. One chapter is devoted to cavitation noise which concerns many users, including surface ships and submarines, and the author finishes with some examples of the use of cavitation and subject-specific measuring techniques.

This comprehensive textbook highlights features of two phase flows and introduces the readers to flow patterns and flow maps. It covers a wide range of fundamental and complex subjects focusing on phase change processes like boiling, condensation or cavitation, and boiling phenomenon starting from pool boiling curves to heat transfer under nucleate boiling, film, and flow boiling. It also discusses themes such as numerical techniques for solving boiling and condensation as well as equipment used in industry for evaporation, boiling, and condensation. It includes pedagogical aspects such as end-of-chapter problems and worked examples to augment learning and self-testing. This book is a valuable addition for students, researchers, and practicing engineers.
