Which consequence results when cavitation occurs in a hydraulic turbine?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation causes intense localized pressure waves because bubble collapse is the mechanism. Erosion happens, therfore intense energy release pits the turbine's surface rather than increasing efficiency; density changes or bearing loads are far less significant.
