The rapid formation and collapse of vapor pockets in a fluid flowing under very low pressure. Cavitation occurs around propellers and in pump systems, and is a frequent cause of structural damage to these components. At the tip of high-speed ship's propeller blade, for example, water is forced to ...

The formation and instantaneous collapse of innumerable tiny voids or cavities within a liquid subjected to rapid and intense pressure changes. Cavitation produced by ultrasonic radiation is sometimes used to effect violent localized agitation. Cavitation caused by severe turbulent flow often leads to cavitation damage.

formation of an air or vapor pocket (or bubble) due to lowering of pressure in a liquid, often as a result of a solid body, such as a propeller or piston, moving through the liquid; also, the pitting or wearing away of a solid surface as a result of the violent collapse of a vapor bubble. Cavitation can occur in a hydraulic system as a result of lo...
