Supercavitation is the state of the art technology that may
revolutionize underwater propulsion systems. Cavitation is a problem
for most of the engineering application where as supercavitation is the
booming scientific discovery for underwater automobiles, torpedo and
propellers.
Cavitation is the process of formation of vapour bubbles of flowing fluid in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapour pressure and the sudden collapsing of these vapour bubbles in region of high pressure. At first small vapour filled bubbles are formed that gradually increase in size. As the pressure of the surrounding liquid increases, the cavity suddenly collapses-a centimeter sized cavity collapses in milliseconds. These Cavities implode violently and create shock waves that dig pits in exposed metal surfaces thus causing damage to the material.
“Water limits even nature's strategies, and the fastest bird moves twice as quickly as the fastest fish”.
The phenomenon holding back the fish is the tremendous resistance that water offers to a moving object, called drag. The same drag acts on the bird as well, but the magnitude is considerably less owing to the lesser density of air. The human being has crossed the sound barrier in air and land, what about underwater.
Water is the most challenging environment for an Engineer. Being 1000 times denser than air, it offers resistance roughly 1000 times as high as that in air. Supersonic under Water Travel is the dream of scientists working on a bizarre technology called SUPERCAVITATION.
