Cavitacion erosion, influence of electrochemical corrosion on cavitation - a review
PublicationZjawisko kawitacji polega na narastaniu, a następnie zapadaniu się i implozji pęcherzy wypełnionych gazem lub parami. Zachodzi ono niemalże we wszystkich układach hydrodynamicznych np. w pompach, zaworach, na śrubach okrętowych, turbinach, hydropłatach itp. na skutek lokalnej, gwałtownej zmiany ciśnienia. W większości przypadków jest to zjawisko niepożądane, ponieważ siły generowane podczas implozji pęcherzy kawitacyjnych są tak...
