Cavitation produces a bubble that rapidly collapses and becomes hotter than the sun's surface. The mantis shrimp uses it, and now so do food and drink firms, to improve flavors — from yogurt to ...

This phenomenon allows tiny air bubbles in the fluid to swell. ... Back in Schmitz's shrimp lab, ... they take advantage of the damage cavitation can do to stun their prey.

The cavitation amplitude of 3 dB matches the prediction, where amplitude = 60 log (Xy / Xfz), Xfz = 0.81, and Xy = 0.91. The apparent discrepancy of 4 dB and 5 dB between test data and calculations ...

The patented technique uses a form of cavitation, a phenomenon in which acoustic energy applied to a liquid induces the creation of voids -- or bubbles -- that release energy when they collapse.

Cavitation, a phenomenon relevant to such common engineering concerns as erosion of ship propellers, is the mechanism by which bubbles appear in a liquid such as beer after an impact, said Javier ...

Fluid mechanics researchers are now one step closer to understanding these phenomena. Skip to main content. Your source ... Researchers describe the dynamics of cavitation in soft porous material ...

During these studies, it was reported that the cavitation phenomenon creates an audible click, with a number of methods to record the (ultrasonic) energy produced described by Cochard et al. in a ...
