Abstract
Cavitation damage tests in various polymer solutions have been carried out using a vibratory damage apparatus. The relation of weight loss-time, the damage patterns, the cavitation clouds and the damaged area in a polyacrylamide solution, a sodium carboxy-methylcellulose solution, a hydroxyethylcellulose solution, a guar gum solution and a polyethylene oxide solution are compared and are discussed. It is found that the weight losses in the PAM solution and the Polyox solution, which are more elastic, are smaller than the cases of the other polymer solutions and water after sixty minutes exposure to cavitation.
