Cavitation

What is Cavitation? Cavitation happens when vapor bubbles form in a liquid because flow dynamics cause the local static pressure to drop below the vapor pressure. Without accurate prediction of cavitation, users cannot effectively optimize designs and set operating parameters and limits, potentially exposing their products to unexpected vibration and Read more…

Pressure

What is the meaning of various terms for pressure in the context of fluid dynamics? Static, dynamic, total, operating, absolute, gauge, etc

Pressure The pressure could be measured by different devices such as barometer, piezometer and Pitot tube.   A barometer is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure (atmospheric pressure) in a certain environment. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. The atmospheric pressure (ambient pressure) causes the fluid Read more…
