Functional units based on cavitation effects for hydraulic systems of vehicles

Abstract

Hydrodynamic cavitation is one of the basic effects which are characteristic for hydraulic drive systems. The control of processes with cavitating flows of liquids provides the possibility not only to suppress cavitation but also to use cavitation effects for obtaining special performance capabilities of hydraulic drive systems. In this article, some devices, the operation of which is based on the use of cavitation effects, are described.
