Interesting topic though.
Cavitation refers to a "cavity" when the upstream pressure exceeds the
ability of the ambient pressure to fill the vacancy.
Mostly used in submarines, though, sometimes aircraft.
"Drag" might be a better word for it with aircraft.


when I was in the fire dept our pumps would cavitate when they sucked
air instead of water, are you getting air bubbles at the output??

If it can't be fixed with bailing wire or duct tape
its not worth fixing
