Abstract

Experimental results from the study of cavitation generated in a liquid during underwater synchronous parallel discharges are presented. It is shown that only synchronous discharges permit the productions of large cavitation regions in a free liquid. The cavitation parameters may be controlled through variation of operational tensile stresses.
