This is cool, I’ve only heard of cavitation in the context of the piston cylinders for the 7.3 idi engine. To mitigate this failure mode in the engine it’s important to keep coolant in good shape and maintain an additive.
This paper speaks about how cavitation is a widely studied phenomena (news to me!) and they’re more interested in the interplay of cavitation bubbles/particles as a whole - fascinating!
Applying grooves/textures in the micro fluidic passages are posited as a solution and am curious how that’s even possible, but am also wholly unaware on how microfluidic chips are manufactured. Maybe a subtractive chemical process?
