Abstract

Cavitation kinetics has traditionally been described in terms of classical nucleation theory (CNT) based on the thermodynamic calculation of work on the formation of a nucleus of a new phase and the solution of the kinetic equation of the nucleus size distribution [1]. The application of CNT is often complicated by the uncertainty associated with the actual accuracy of the model approximations that underlie the theory, as well as by the absence of sufficiently reliable data on the surface tension at the interface and the equation of state of a metastable liquid.
