        "abstract": "The present report arose from a joint effort of the California Institute of Technology, The Catholic University of America and the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center. The initial purpose was to document by\nboth light-scattering and holographic techniques the distribution of microbubbles in laboratory cavitation test facilities (under different conditions of\ncavitation testing), to compare these two different techniques where feasible and then, as the last stage, to make similar observations of nuclei in natural\nor oceanic waters. It has been apparent to many workers in the field of cavitation inception that there has not yet been adequate correlation of laboratory and field conditions for cavitation testing - particularly for\ncavitation inception testing. Thus the proposed work offered the first real opportunity to explore this important connection. Caltech's role in this work\nwas to design and build a holographic system that would be suitable for use either in the laboratory or the field. In the first case we anticipated making\nlaboratory nuclei observations in the Institute's Low Turbulence Water Tunnel (LTWT) jointly with the light-scattering device designed by Professor\nS. C. Ling of C.U.A. and developed further by Mr. S. Gowing of DTNSRDC. For the latter case, the field work, it was proposed to install the holographic system in a submersible tank to permit holographic recordings of a suitable\ntest volume of fluid. As an initial goal a depth of 100 feet was selected for the maximum depth of operation.",

        "abstract": "A qualitative study of the effects of cavitation on the performance of an axial flow pump was n1ade. Photographic evidence shows that cavitation\nneed not occur first on the blade surface but could occur in the free stream. This phenomenon is ascribed to a flow through the tip clearance space. Cavitation similarity was found to be determined by the cavitation number\nK, Thoma's \u03c3, or the suction specific speed S for the conditions of these tests.",
