• The collapse of the bobble close to a surface will be asymmetric.
• A jet stream will be formed in the center and hits the surface with
large impulse. It has been measured pressure pulses up to 1000 bar
and velocities around 200 m/s in a collapsing bubble.
• The collapse creates local pressure oscillation with a large
amplitude.
• It is not known if it is the jet stream, pressure pulse or both that
causes the damage to the surface.

NPSH available and NPSH required
• NPSH available
– This is the NPSH that is given by the site
where the turbine is installed
• NPSH required
– This is the NPSH that the turbine required for
non-cavitating operation

Provided that similar hydraulic cavitating flow
remain unchanged relative to the flow canals, the
relations of hydraulic similar flow, are valid also
for flow including cavitation.
