- Sudden reduction of pressure in a fluid flow system caused by flow separation, vortex formation or abrupt closing of valve leads to cavitation
- Cavitation may be caused due to boiling of liquid by decreasing the pressure resulting in formation & collapse of vapor cavities
- Cavitation begins at higher static pressure and lower velocity in larger diameter pipelines resulting in audible noise
- Large scale cavitation can not damage pipeline, restrict fluid flow and damage steam turbine blades
