cavitation is the loss of effective
propeller thrust. It is caused by the impact of water against the propeller when vacuum pockets collapse. The vacuum pockets form when the propeller blade moves too quickly for the surrounding water to fill effectively the space left by the blade as it rotates. It can be caused by a propeller being too small, or too near the surface for the head of water pressure to supply a solid stream for the propeller to work in, by poor streamlining of the blades or of the after
run of the hull form, or by too thick a leading blade on the propeller itself. The head of water is the pressure which forces the water into the propeller blades, and amounts to normal atmospheric pressure plus 0.434 lb per sq. in. for every foot below the surface that the propeller is submerged. The effect of cavitation, besides loss of thrust, is heavy vibration of the ship and damage to the propeller blades.
