Cavitation induced vibrations in orifice plates and a partially closed valve

Cavitation-induced vibrations in orifice plates and partially closed valves can lead to significant operational challenges and potential damage in the nuclear power plant. Cavitation can cause vibrations and erosion, compromising the integrity of critical components. Understanding and mitigating these effects is essential for maintaining safe and efficient operations.
