Can cavitation occur in other types of liquid other than water and what happens when its attempted?
I have seen videos explaining cavitation in water and showing it in slow motion. Also, I have seen small sea creatures that use cavitations to stun prey. While watching videos similar to this video of a shrimp using cavitation showing that this creates a small amount of light and quite a bit of heat.
This made me think about if there is research on cavitation with in other types of liquids(liquid, helium, hydrogen, brake fluid, refrigerants) or maybe even plasmas. If there is research on that what was the results, or would it even work? Also, can cavitation occur in space(in a vacuum)?
