Abstract

A review of traditional and novel experimental methods for the investigation of hydrodynamic cavitation is presented. The importance of water quality is discussed, along with its characterization and management. Methods for the direct and indirect experimental determination of cavitation inception are presented. Along with traditional optical visualization, methods of measuring developed cavitation are described, including point and surface electrical probes, optical bubble probes, acoustic measurements, and indirect measurements of noise and vibration. Recent developments in the use of ionizing radiation as a means to visualize cavitating flows are also discussed.
