"Can you explain further how the cavitation occurs?"
This is a good basic explanation.

Is a little bit of cavitation OK in a hydraulic system?
I am sizing an orifice valve and found that the flow will begin to choke (like a gas) at a cavitation number ([Pu-Pv]/[Pu-Pd]) of about 1.5 or more. After a bit of research I think I can conclude that cavitation is going on.
The valve will...
