Circular definition

Cavitation is [..] the consequence of cavitational forces acting upon the cavitational liquid. Isn't cavitation really the formation of vacuum in microscopic places within a liquid, when a solid material, such as a propeller is moving faster than the liquid can follow?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Cavitation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Cavitation in plants (2)

Hi, I became interested in the following part: "Deciduous trees shed leaves in the autumn partly because cavitation increases as temperatures decrease.[32] "

This seems unlikely, as decreasing the temperature makes the vapour pressure of water lower, and it is a known method of avoiding cavitation. I also read the reference, it doesn't mention anything about temperature - or the process of trees shedding their leaves in autumn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.95.153.91 (talk) 19:52, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bullet wounds

Suggestion on adding the below linked to this page - assuming this is the correct place to put this?

Cavitation is the formation of the bubbles or its collapse?

As it is, the lead says it is both. If the term comprises both formation and collapse, the lead needs a rewrite. --uKER (talk) 11:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
