Abstract

A method of visualizing and measuring the velocity field of a liquid flow proposed at the Institute of Mechanics at the Moscow State University in 1967 [3] is discussed. It consists of creating and measuring the size of an artificial cavity behind an extended cavity forming body with small transverse dimension (cavitation probe) placed across the flow at a given position. Because the transverse dimension of the probe is small, the flow deformation is slight.
