Cavitation number

Japanese: キャビテーション数 - きゃびてーしょんすう
Cavitation number

...When it occurs in a vortex, it becomes a long, thin string. The cavitation number σ, defined as σ = ( p - p v )/(ρ U 2 /2), is used as an index to indicate the likelihood of cavitation occurring, and the smaller σ is, the more likely cavitation is to occur. Here, p is the static pressure of the general flow of the liquid, p v is the vapor pressure of the liquid, ρ is the density of the liquid, and U is the flow velocity of the general flow of the liquid. ...

*Some of the terminology that refers to "cavitation number" is listed below.

Japanese:

…渦中に発生するときには細長いひも状になる。キャビテーションの発生しやすさを示す指数として,σ=(ppv)/(ρU2/2)で定義されるキャビテーション数σが用いられ,σの小さいほどキャビテーションは発生しやすい。ここでpは液体の一般流の静圧,pvは液体の蒸気圧,ρは液体の密度,Uは液体の一般流の流速である。…
