Cavitation and the generation of tension in liquids

The phenomenon of cavitation occurs when a tension, applied to a liquid, exceeds a certain critical value known as the breaking tension or cavitation threshold. The present review article considers various ways in which liquids have been subjected to tension and how the accompanying cavitation has been studied. The importance of these matters in medicine and botany is also discussed.
