Cavitation is common in very turbulent streams, there are indeed some reasonable qualitative explanations for it.
http://www.turbulence-online.com/Publications/Journal_Papers/Papers/AG78.pdf Sonofusion is a bit different. It might involve the high pressures, not sure how high. But the temperature is nowhere near the needed for hot fusion. 2012/7/18 Chemical Engineer <[email protected]> > Leclair claims it is the collapsing of the bubbles (created in his case by > cavitation from an impeller or laser) that triggers the fusion so I think > the end result is the same as in sonofusion.
