Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics

This book treats the problems of cavitations, the formation of bubbles in a liquid or gas. Cavitation is an interdisciplinary field of fluid dynamics and involves the basic structure of liquids and liquid-gas solutions and of phase changes between them.

The book describes and explains the fundamental physical processes involved in bubbly dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation.The study of cavitation and bubbly flow applies to many areas of interest;from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment,ship propellors and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines and pumps of all sizes,to physiological phenomena such as the cracking of joints and the "bends"
