Cavitation is essentially a wild bit of physics that turns water — a ship's best friend — into a weapon with a massive destructive potential. It can happen around a ship's propeller and can eat ...

A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports ...

Cavitation dynamics encompasses the study of bubble formation, growth and violent collapse within liquids subjected to rapid pressure variations, a phenomenon harnessed in a variety of industrial ...
