Abstract

The development of cavitation behind a disc in water and Freon-113 was investigated in a cavitation tunnel designed for this purpose. Measurements of pressure within the cavities formed in water indicated that the vapor pressure within the cavity was less than the vapor pressure of the fluid at the bulk temperature. Observations of the cavities formed in the two liquids showed qualitative differences, and some possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.
