Great point. What I’m suggesting is that, based on the article, perhaps there’s an alternate or (more likely) supplemental explanation to microcavitation.
Maybe the baby bubbles bursting apply both exert a physical and a chemical (per the article’s discovery) effect on the substrate. If nontrivial, applying/developing different coatings that are more resistant to h2o2 could be useful in real world applications.
I really don’t know, but it’d be a logical next step for applied research!
- patrec 7y agoWouldn't someone have noticed the chemical corrosion – even if not specifically looking for it?
- pg_is_a_butt 7y agoNot my job
- deelowe 7y agoIsn't cavitation a pretty well understood phenomenon? If something else was going on, wouldn't the models be incorrect?
- mogadsheu 7y agoHonestly I wouldn’t know, just musing! My background definitely isn’t in fluid flow. A quick search suggests that cavitation modeling is actively being updated (src: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5052257 https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5052257), but I don’t know to what degree they’re refining them. Not my area of focus.
