Fundamentals of Corrosion

Fundamentals of Corrosion Fundamentals of corrosion, or cavitation, is a unique phenomenon in the field of hydrodynamics, although it can occur in any hydraulic machine such as pumps, impellers, artificial hearts, and the like. Cavitation occurs not only in water but also in any type of fluid such as liquid hydrogen. The occurrence of cavitation can cause severe damage to hydraulic machinery. Therefore, preventing cavitation is an important concern for designers of hydraulic machinery. Conversely, there is great potential for using cavitation in various important applications such as environmental protection. Several books have been published on cavitation, including one by the same authors. This book differs from previous books in that it is both more physical and more theoretical. Any theoretical explanation of the cavitation phenomenon is very difficult, but the authors have been very successful in explaining it. And the reader can easily follow the equations. This is an advantage when reading this book, that you gain to some extent a proper understanding of the physics of cavitation. Therefore, this book is not an introductory text, but a book for more advanced study. However, this does not mean that the book is too difficult for a beginner, because it explains the cavitation phenomenon using numerous figures. Therefore, even a beginner in the field of cavitation can read it and can understand what cavitation is. If a student studies through this book (patiently), they can become an expert in the field of cavitation physics. Nature of Corrosion In conclusion, this book is very comprehensive and informative for advanced students, scientists, and engineers who want to understand the true nature of cavitation. The authors, Dr. Jean-Marie Michel and Dr. Jean-Pierre Franc, are professors at the University of Grenoble, although Dr. Michel has recently retired. They have extensive experience in teaching and studying cavitation. Dr. MICHEL and Dr. FRANC have presented many important papers in prestigious international academic journals such as the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, which are referenced in this book. Dr. MICHEL and Dr. FRANC are the most suitable people to write a book on cavitation such as this. I am very pleased to be the first to congratulate them on their latest contribution to this highly unique and fascinating field.
