In many hydraulic applications, cavitation is considered as a non-desirable phenomenon, as far as it may cause performance degradation, vibration problems, enhance broad-band noise-emission, and eventually trigger erosion. In this Special Issue, recent findings about cavitation instabilities are reported. More precisely, the dynamics of cavitation sheets are explored at very low Reynolds numbers in laminar flows, and in microscale applications. Both experimental and numerical approach are used. For the latter, original methods are assessed, such as smooth particles hydrodynamics or detached eddy simulations coupled to a compressible approach.Research and information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscbulb turbinebulb turbine runnercavitationcavitation instabilitiescavitation numbercavitation peeningcavitation tunnelCFDcompressible two-phase flowcomputational fluid dynamicsflow visualizationfluid detachmentfluid-structure interactionFrancis turbineFrancis Turbineglobe valvehigh-temperature high-pressure cavitationhydrodynamic cavitationhydrofoiljetKelvin-Helmholtz instabilitylaminar cavitationlow-temperature low-pressure cavitationmechanical surface treatmentmicrochannelmultifunction cavitationnumerical simulationpartial cavitationpeening agingpeening natural agingRANSregression modelslammingsuper-cavitationsystem instabilitiesturbulence modellingultrasonic cavitationvalve cagevortexvortex ropewater jet cavitationResearch and information: generalTechnology: general issuesRavelet Florentedt1311958Ravelet FlorentothBOOK9910557355403321New Advances of Cavitation Instabilities3030618UNINA
