Fundamentals of Cavitation

Fundamentals of Cavitation by Jean-Pierre Franc, Jean-Marie Michel.

This book treats cavitation, which is a unique phenomenon in the field of hyd- dynamics, although it can occur in any hydraulic machinery such as pumps, propellers, artificial hearts, and so forth. Cavitation is generated not only in water, but also in any kind of fluid, such as liquid hydrogen. The...
