TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental physical processes involved in bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation are described and explained, and a review of the free streamline methods used to treat separated cavity flows with large attached cavities is provided.
Abstract: This book describes and explains the fundamental physical processes involved in bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. It is intended as a combination of a reference book for those scientists and engineers who work with cavitation or bubble dynamics and as a monograph for advanced students interested in some of the basic problems associated with this category of multiphase flows. A basic knowledge of fluid flow and heat transfer is assumed but otherwise the analytical methods presented are developed from basic principles. The book begins with a chapter on nucleation and describes both the theory and observations of nucleation in flowing and non-flowing systems. The following three chapters provide a systematic treatment of the dynamics of the growth, collapse or oscillation of individual bubbles in otherwise quiescent liquids. Chapter 4 summarizes the state of knowledge of the motion of bubbles in liquids. Chapter 5 describes some of the phenomena which occur in homogeneous bubbly flows with particular emphasis on cloud cavitation and this is followed by a chapter summarizing some of the experiemntal observations of cavitating flows. The last chapter provides a review of the free streamline methods used to treat separated cavity flows with large attached cavities.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Reynolds number in the nominal case of an infinitely long and non-confined cylinder in a smooth oncoming flow are discussed, from about Re = 47 to 2 x 10(5), i.e., from the onset of vortex shedding up to the end of the subcritical regime.

TL;DR: A hierarchy of computational approaches that range from semi-empirical schemes that estimate the noise sources using mean-flow and turbulence statistics, to high-fidelity unsteady flow simulations that resolve the sound generation process by direct application of the fundamental conservation principles is discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-bladed wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 58m was used to characterize the noise sources and to verify whether trailing edge noise from the blades was dominant.
