Cavitation Number Calculator

This Calctown Calculator calculates the cavitation number in fluid flow calculations used to characterize potential of the flow to cavitate.

p(reference pressure)

p_v(vapor pressure of fluid)

ρ(density)

kg/m³

v(fluid velocity)

m/s

Ca(cavitation number)

where

Ca = cavitation number

p = local or reference pressure

p_v = vapor pressure of fluid

ρ = density of fluid

v = velocity of the fluid
