CONT

Au bout d’un moment, la vitesse de vaporisation atteint un seuil au-delà duquel ça ne peut plus augmenter. Il se produit alors un phénomène très connu qui tend à maintenir la valeur de la pression à la valeur de la pression tensorielle du fluide. Des cavités de vide partiel ou total se créent. C’est la cavitation.
