Abstract: By combined measurements of'incipient cavitation and water quality, characterized by its tensile strength, the enormous influence of differences in water quality on cavitation data is demonstrated. After eliminating these water quality effects from the test results general similarity relations for velocity and size scale effects become clearly apparent. The knowledge of the effects of water quality and the application of these relations can help to predict cavitation performance more precisely.
