Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics
Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics9e3Wg-gdPreface
This book is intended as a combination of a reference book for those who workX px1jn
with cavitation or bubble dynamics and as a monograph for advanced students-S,e]!e ?"af
interested in some of the basic problems associated with this category of multiphasea @+iL P5KzTi7Hd
flows. A book like this has many roots. It began many years ago when,
as a young postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology, I wasO;Z?4P"_*v5|1s `I.t/]
asked to prepare a series of lectures on cavitation for a graduate course cum seminar
series. It was truly a baptism by fire, for the audience included three of the
great names in cavitation research, Milton Plesset, Allan Acosta, and Theodore _lE0I&V$WP#Bq6w'?.a ~
Wu, none of whom readily accepted superficial explanations. For that, I am
immensely grateful. The course and I survived, and it evolved into one part of
a graduate program in multiphase flows.
There are many people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for the roles they
played in making this book possible. It was my great good fortune to have
known and studied with six outstanding scholars, Les Woods, George Gadd,
Milton Plesset, Allan Acosta, Ted Wu, and Rolf Sabersky. I benefited immensely
from their scholarship and their friendship. I also owe much to myc8b+hd8{0V2q b `(?
many colleagues in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers whose insights
fill many of the pages of this monograph. The support of my research
program by the Office of Naval Research is also greatly appreciated. And, of
course, I feel honored to have worked with an outstanding group of graduate7]5{F#wyE/d0|
students at Caltech, including Sheung-Lip Ng, Kiam Oey, David Braisted, Luca9t8T5h*@5w q:x6W0r&i)r

The book is dedicated to Doreen, my companion and friend of over thirty AR^il

bring it to completion. To her I owe more than I can tell. 英文版的学起来有点困难，是翻译的就好了。
