Cavitation Cavitation erosion is progressive loss of material from a solid due to the
action of bubbles in a liquid collapsing nears the solid surface. When bubbles collapse in
a liquid, the liquid surrounding a bubble rushes in to fill the void. This action can
create tiny liquid jets that can cause material removal.
