This book treats cavitation, which is a unique phenomenon in the
field of hyd- dynamics, although it can occur in any hydraulic
machinery such as pumps, propellers, artificial hearts, and so
forth. Cavitation is generated not only in water, but also in any
kind of fluid, such as liquid hydrogen. The generation of
cavitation can cause severe damage in hydraulic machinery.
Therefore, the prevention of cavitation is an important concern for
designers of hydraulic machinery. On the contrary, there is great
potential to utilize cavitation in various important applications,
such as environmental protection. There have been several books
published on cavitation, including one by the same authors. This
book differs from those previous ones, in that it is both more
physical and more theoretical. Any theoretical explanation of the
cavitation phenomenon is rather difficult, but the authors have
succeeded in explaining it very well, and a reader can follow the
equations easily. It is an advantage in reading this book to have
some understanding of the physics of cavitation. Therefore, this
book is not an introductory text, but a book for more advanced
study. However, this does not mean that this book is too difficult
for a beginner, because it explains the cavitation phenomenon using
many figures. Therefore, even a beginner on cavitation can read and
can understand what cavitation is. If the student studies through
this book (with patience), he or she can become an expert on the
physics of cavitation.
