Supercavitating submarine, illustration. Cavitation is the formation and rapid collapse of bubbles in a liquid due to changes in pressure. Supercavitation is the use of cavitation effects to create a bubble of gas or vapor large enough to encompass an object traveling through a liquid (here, a submarine travelling through water) and allow it to travel faster. The same principle applies to supercavitating torpedoes that use rocket engines. | |
