註釋Cavitation refers to a distinctive occurrence within liquid flows where there is a phase change process involving the rapid transformation of liquid into vapour in regions of low pressure, followed by collapsing or implosion when pressure rises again. The study of cavitation dates back to the late 19th century. While the term “cavitation” was originally coined by R. E. Froude and first documented by Barnaby and Thornycroft in 1895, the concept had been speculated upon much earlier by L. Euler in his 1754 theory on water turbines. However, the phenomenon of cavitation was initially observed and examined by Barnaby and Parsons in 1893. They identified that the formation of vapour bubbles on propeller blades had led to the failure of the sea trial of the British high-speed warship HMS Daring in 1885. In 1895, Parsons established the first water tunnel dedicated to cavitation research, revealing the connection between cavitation and propeller damage. The theoretical groundwork for cavitation research was laid by Rayleigh in 1917, as he successfully addressed the collapse of an empty cavity within a substantial liquid mass. Since then, numerous research work has been published on cavitating flow.
