Talk:Cavitation

message: Hi, I became interested in the following part: 
"Deciduous trees shed leaves in the autumn partly because cavitation increases as temperatures decrease.[32] "
This seems unlikely, as decreasing the temperature makes the vapour pressure of water lower, and it is a known method of avoiding cavitation. I also read the reference, it doesn't mention anything about temperature - or the process of trees shedding their leaves in autumn.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.95.153.91 (talk) 19:52, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Cavitation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20060206151508/http://caltechbook.library.caltech.edu:80/1/04/bubble.htm to http://caltechbook.library.caltech.edu/1/04/bubble.htm
*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20060324065024/http://caltechbook.library.caltech.edu:80/51/01/multiph.htm to http://caltechbook.library.caltech.edu/51/01/multiph.htm
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
Cheers.—cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 08:41, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

message: As it is, the lead says it is both. If the term comprises both formation and collapse, the lead needs a rewrite. --uKER (talk) 11:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cavitation is the formation of the bubbles or its collapse? 

message: The term "cavitation" seems to be used with several different meanings:
#The formation of any void in a liquid. Such a void may be air-filled, as for example in this paper on vascular plants. Void pressure is near-ambient/atmospheric.
#The formation of a void specifically in a hydrodynamic situation where the dynamic pressure becomes comparable to the total pressure and the static pressure consequently falls below the fluid vapour pressure. Void pressure is near-vacuum.
#The catastrophic collapse of such a near-vacuum void, as here
#The oscillation of void size, due to the application of external energy such as acoustic or electromagnetic. The void pressure may be near-atmospheric or near-vacuum.
These last three are sometimes termed "inertial cavitation", while #2 and 3 are often combined in a single definition embracing both; this is common in engineering and is the dominant use of the term.
The article currently is very unclear about all this and mixes up different types of cavitation under a mishmash of section headings that bear little relation to their content. It needs expert attention. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:14, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
