Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics

Zusatztext I can recommend the book as an excellent graduate text. Klappentext This book provides a coherent and unified treatment of the fundamental physical processes involved in bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. Of interest to a wide range of mechanical engineers, the study of cavitation and bubbly flows is applicable to topics ranging from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment, ship propellers, and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines and pumps of all sizes. Well-written and up-to-date, the book will prove indispensable to engineers and students needing a reference detailing the problems of cavitation and bubbly flow. Zusammenfassung This book treats the problems of cavitations, the formation of bubbles in a liquid or gas. Cavitation is an interdisciplinary field of fluid dynamics and involves the basic structure of liquids and liquid-gas solutions and of phase changes between them.
