Abstract
This paper describes the most important aspects of the effect that flow aeration has in combating the damage caused by cavitation. An explanation is also given of how to characterise these flows when the air enters the flow in a natural way, as well as giving an account of some of the artificial aeration devices that are placed on spillways when natural aeration proves to be insufficient.
