The following information is about Cavitation.

Cavitation Defined

Essentially, to suck air. This term is primarily used in conjunction with propellers and rudders. When cavitating, the propeller will speed up, but power is lost; the rudder may lose steering action. Cavitation most often occurs when turning. Both result from a loss of a constant solid water flow. Power catamarans usually require deflectors when a single motor is used, to direct a flow of water to the propeller. Webster's Dictionary: "the formation of partial vaccums in a flowing liquid as a result of a separation of its parts". i.e. aeration of the liquid.

This definition is in context to Boating. See more contextual defintions for Cavitation.
