Cavitation is a nothing but decay of a valve.
When the fluid carriying bubbles, get passed through the
plug and seaty due to the pressure drop high compression
force is subjected on the bubbles where the bubbles gets
burst/splash this process is called splashing and when the
bubbles splashes high energy is released which hits the
walls of plug and seat area where the resultant is pitting
on the valve plug and seat area this phenomenon is called
pitting and the overall process resultant is cavitation.
