Abstract
With the trend to larger and larger hydraulic structures, cavitation and the resultant pitting have become major problems to the hydraulic designing engineer. Subatmospheric pressures in smaller structures were of little consequence, but with the increase of head in more recent structures, the approach of subatmospheric pressures to absolute zero as their limit has created previously unheard of situations. Experience in the laboratory and in the field shows that prevention of cavitation is fundamentally a function of design.
