A NEW SET-UP FOR CAVITATION RESEARCH--THE CAVITATION MECHANISM LOOP

The cavitation mechanism loop, for experimental work on cavitation a new system constructed at the China Ship Scientific Research Center in Wuxi, China, is described. The system has been used to investigate the properties of cavitation nuclei, nuclei distribution, cavitation noise, the effect of water quality on the cavitation mechanism of vortex cavitation inception. Results obtained from research with the cavitation mechanism loop are summarized.
