Ultrasonic cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs when high-frequency sound waves are introduced into liquid medium, causing the formation and collapse of small bubbles within liquid. These generate high-energy shock can change surface nearby materials, leading to various physical chemical effects. In this review, we briefly summarized influence ultrasonic on surficial properties metals some in...

Nickel Aluminum Bronze (NAB) and Manganese (MAB) are high-alloyed bronzes that increasingly employed in several industrial sectors, mainly related to hostile environments due their excellent properties against corrosion, cavitation, erosion improved mechanical relation other copper-based alloys. These materials very sensitive thermal treatments a multiphase microstructure as-cast condition. To ...

one of the most problems that limits use of turbomachines at high speed applications is cavitation. cavitation can damage casing and blades of turbopump, also can make unstability in system. inducer that was installed in front of main impeller can improve cavitation characteristic of system and increase static pressure just before entrance of centrifugal pump. specially in fuel feed system of l...

This paper is concerned with the flow of a bubbly fluid along a wavy wall, which is one Fourier component of a linearized hydrofoil. The bubbles are dispersed, not throughout the whole of the liquid, but only over a certain distance from the wall, as occurs in practice with cavitation bubbles. Outside the bubbly regime there is pure liquid. The interface between the bubbly fluid and pure liquid...

Striking the top of a liquid-filled bottle can shatter the bottom. An intuitive interpretation of this event might label an impulsive force as the culprit in this fracturing phenomenon. However, high-speed photography reveals the formation and collapse of tiny bubbles near the bottom before fracture. This observation indicates that the damaging phenomenon of cavitation is at fault. Cavitation i...

Tip vortex cavitation is one of well known patterns of cavitation phenomenon which occurs in axial pumps. This pattern of cavitation occurs due to pressure difference between the pressure and suction sides of blades of an axial pump. Since the pressure in the pressure side of the blade is higher than the pressure in its suction side, thus a very small portion of liquid flow flows back from pres...

The inception and evolution of acoustic cavitation structures in thin liquid layers under different conditions and perturbations are investigated experimentally with high speed photography. The stability and characterization of cavitation structures are quantified by image analysis methods. It is found that cavitation structures (shape of bubble cloud and number of bubbles) are stable under una...
