Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics: Fundamentals and Applications

Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics: Fundamentals and Applications examines the latest advances in cavitation and multiphase flows, including associated effects, such as material erosion and spray instabilities. In many industries cavitation hindrance is a major issue, affecting reliability, noise, and vibrations. This book tackles these challenges in the industrial setting, while also drawing on interdisciplinary research to inform academic audiences about the latest advances. Contributions come from a wide range of specialists in multiple areas, including fuel systems, hydropower, marine engineering, multiphase flows, and computational fluid mechanics, allowing readers to discover novel interdisciplinary experimentation techniques and research results. Covers a wide range of cavitation and bubble dynamics phenomena, including shock wave emission, jetting, and luminescence Provides the latest advice about applications including cavitation tunnels, cavitation testing, flow designs to avoid cavitation in pumps and other hydromachinery, and flow lines Describes novel experimental techniques, such as x-ray imaging and new computational techniques INDICE: 1.
