    Proposal ON: CAV Itation in Fluid Mechanics

    Cavitation occurs when the static pressure of a liquid becomes lower than its vapor pressure, causing bubbles to form and rapidly collapse. When bubbles collapse near a solid surface, they can cause cavitation damage through micro-jets and shockwaves. Super-cavitation creates a large gas bubble around an object to greatly reduce skin friction drag and enable very high speeds, with applications including torpedoes and propellers. While cavitation can cause damage, it also has benefits such as uses in ultrasonics, mixing, particle breakdown, and medical procedures.

    WHAT IS CAVITATION ?
    WHAT IS CAVITATION?

    It is the rapid formation and collapse of air bubbles in a liquid, due


    to changes in pressure. Cavitation occurs mainly when the static
    pressure becomes smaller than the liquid’s vapour pressure.
    CAVITATION
    HOW CAVITATION WORKS ?

    Bubbles of water vapour form when the pressure at a certain


    location decreases below the vapour pressure, the vapour reverts
    back to liquid once the bubble has reached a location with a
    pressure above the vapour pressure .
    HOWHOW
    DOESDOES
    A BUBBLE COLLAPSE?
    A BUBBLE COLLAPSE?

    When the local pressure goes below the vapour pressure , water evaporates
    and a cavitation bubble is formed . Bubble is transported from where it was
    formed at low pressure to areas with high pressure. Bubble stops growing if
    the local pressure exceeds the vapour pressure , vapour condenses starting
    with the bubble swoll , it’s surface starts to breakdown at its weakest spot . a
    micro- jet pierces into the remains of the bubbles . micro - jet continues to
    flow into the liquid and can hit a wall.
    CAVITATION DAMAGES
    CAVITATION DAMAGES

    Cavitation damage occurs when the cavitation bubbles drift into a higher
    pressure region of the flow and collapse suddenly, leading to small but
    powerful pressure waves (micro - jet)that damage nearby solid surfaces.
    SUPERCAVITATION
    SUPERCAVITATION

    Super - cavitation is the use of cavitation effects to create a bubble of gas


    inside a liquid large enough to encompass an object travelling through the
    liquid, greatly reducing the skin friction drag on the object and enabling
    achievement of very high speeds.
    Applications:
    torpedoes
    propellers
    BENEFITS BENEFITS

    1. used in high power ultrasonics


    2. used to homogenize. mix or breakdown particles
    3. used to cavitating water purification devices
    4. used for destruction of kidney stones via shock waves
