The 38 pages that link to Cavitation, each with the reason it gives.

• PressureRelated: Low local pressure can vaporize liquid and damage pumps or propellers.

• HydrodynamicsBroader topic: It can damage propellers and pumps while changing flow forces.

• XylemRelated: A cavitation event can interrupt water transport through xylem.

• Hydraulic headRelated: Low pressure head can bring flowing water close to conditions that cause cavitation.

• VacuumCompared with: Its low-pressure cavities arise inside liquids, not from evacuating a gas-filled chamber.

• TurbineRelated: Low pressure near hydraulic turbine blades can trigger damaging cavity collapse.

• HomogenizationRelated: Cavity collapse can generate forces that fragment droplets and particles.

• LubricationCompared with: Lubricant films can fail through cavitation rather than simply lose effectiveness gradually.

• Francis turbineRelated: Low pressure near the runner outlet can cause damage and constrain turbine placement and operation.

• HydrofoilRelated: At high speeds, cavitation can reduce foil lift and damage its surfaces.

• TorpedoRelated: Cavitation affects torpedo drag, noise, and the feasibility of very high underwater speeds.

• Marine propulsionRelated: Propeller cavitation can cause noise, vibration, erosion, and reduced thrust.

• PropellerRelated: On marine propellers, cavitation can reduce thrust, damage blades, and cause noise.

• SiphonRelated: Low pressure near a high crest can break the liquid column and stop siphon flow.

• Water hammerRelated: Cavities formed during a transient can collapse into damaging pressure pulses.

• Water pumpRelated: Low inlet pressure can make bubbles collapse inside a pump and damage its surfaces.

• High-pressure processingRelated: It is a distinct pressure-related mechanism studied in food processing, not the main effect of uniform hydrostatic treatment.

• Hydraulic fluidRelated: Low pressure can vaporize fluid locally, damaging pumps and degrading fluid performance.

• High-speed photographyRelated: Rapid imaging captures bubble growth and collapse that unfold too quickly for ordinary video.

• Mantis shrimpRelated: A fast strike can create bubbles whose collapse adds a damaging shock wave.

• Penetrating traumaRelated: Temporary tissue stretch can extend damage beyond the projectile's permanent path.

• Fluvial erosionBroader topic: In fast flows, bubble collapse can intensify erosion against bedrock.

• HydraulicsRelated: Low pressure in pumps and valves can trigger damaging vapor-cavity collapse.

• Pipe flowRelated: Low pressure in pipe systems can trigger damaging cavitation near restrictions or machinery.

• TracheidRelated: A cavitated tracheid can no longer conduct water normally.

• Absolute pressureRelated: Cavitation thresholds depend on absolute pressure relative to the liquid's vapor pressure.

• Water pressureRelated: Low pressure near pumps or valves can cause damaging bubbles in water.

• Screw PropellerRelated: Low pressure on propeller blades can cause bubbles that erode surfaces and reduce performance.

• StomatopodaRelated: A fast stomatopod strike can create bubbles whose collapse produces a secondary shock.

• Flash evaporationCompared with: Both involve pressure-induced vapor formation, but cavitation centers on collapsing bubbles and damage.

• Gunshot woundRelated: Temporary tissue displacement can extend damage beyond the projectile's path.

• Flow visualizationRelated: Imaging captures bubble formation and collapse around propellers, pumps, and other devices.

• AlpheidaeRelated: The claw's rapid water jet creates a cavitation bubble whose collapse produces the characteristic snap.

• Flow control (process engineering)Related: Pressure drops across throttling valves can trigger damaging cavitation.

• Rayleigh–Plesset equationNarrower topic: Cavitation motivated much of the equation's development and remains a key setting for its use.

• Drop and bubble phenomenaCompared with: It resembles bubble dynamics but involves vapor cavities generated by pressure reduction.

• Drops and bubblesCompared with: Cavitation bubbles arise from pressure-driven vapor formation, unlike ordinary gas bubbles.

• Hydraulic manifoldRelated: Poorly designed passages can create local low pressure and damage manifold-connected components.
