CAVITATION

"CAVITATION" is a common misspelling or typo for: capitation.


Specialty Definition: CAVITATION

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

The formation of bubbles in a liquid, occurring whenever the static pressure at any point in the fluid flow becomes less than the fluid vapor pressure. (references)

Environment

The formation and collapse of gas pockets or bubbles on the blade of an impeller or the gate of a valve; collapse of these pockets or bubbles drives water with such force that it can cause pitting of the gate or valve surface. (references)

Mining

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 give violent localized agitation. That caused by severe turbulent flow oftenleads to cavitation damage. (references)
