Cavitation refers to a distinctive occurrence within liquid flows
where there is a phase change process involving the rapid transformation
of liquid into vapour in regions of low pressure, followed by
collapsing or implosion when pressure rises again. The study of cavitation
dates back to the late 19th century. While the term “cavitation”
was originally coined by R. E. Froude and first documented by Barnaby
and Thornycroft in 1895, the concept had been speculated upon
much earlier by L. Euler in his 1754 theory on water turbines. However,
the phenomenon of cavitation was initially observed and examined
by Barnaby and Parsons in 1893. They identified that the
formation of vapour bubbles on propeller blades had led to the failure
of the sea trial of the British high-speed warship HMS Daring in
1885. In 1895, Parsons established the first water tunnel dedicated
to cavitation research, revealing the connection between cavitation
and propeller damage. The theoretical groundwork for cavitation research
was laid by Rayleigh in 1917, as he successfully addressed the
collapse of an empty cavity within a substantial liquid mass. Since
then, numerous research work has been published on cavitating flow.
