Cavitation topics include: Effects and precautions of cavitation, cavitation in hydraulic turbines and centrifugal pumps. Cavitation is the process of small gas bubbles growing, oscillating, and collapsing in a fluid. It can also refer to the sudden, unstable expansion of a void or bubble within a liquid or solid.  Cavitation can occur in control valves when: Pressure and velocity changes Liquid's pressure falls to near the vapor pressure Increasing the pressure drop while maintaining a constant inlet pressure yields no further increase in flow rate  Cavitation can cause: High...
