Collaborative Research: Explainable deep learning for cavitation control: from first-princ — NSF Award to Purdue University (IN, $

Cavitation occurs when small vapor bubbles form in a liquid as the pressure drops. When the bubbles move into regions of higher pressure, they collapse and can create noise, vibration, and damage in engineering systems. Cavitation affects many technologies, including ship propellers, water turbines, medical ultrasound,

AbstractCavitation occurs when small vapor bubbles form in a liquid as the pressure drops. When the bubbles move into regions of higher pressure, they collapse and can create noise, vibration, and damage in engineering systems. Cavitation affects many technologies, including ship propellers, water turbines, medical ultrasound, and drug delivery devices. Yet it remains difficult to predict and control because it arises from complex links between fluid motion, pressure changes, and phase transitions. Thes
