Spinning water in a glass can induce boiling through pressure reduction at the vortex core
Is it true that spinning water in a glass can induce boiling through pressure reduction at the vortex core?
Yes. Spinning water creates a vortex core where the local static pressure drops significantly, which can induce cavitation (vapor bubble formation) in the low-pressure region.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers consistently support the principle that fluid vortices generate local pressure drops at their cores, which can induce cavitation or bubble formation when the pressure falls below the vapor pressure of the liquid.
