1. A device for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluids comprising:
- a chamber formed by at least one wall, the wall having a first orifice configured to permit the introduction of a first liquid stream into the chamber and an opposing second orifice configured to permit the introduction of a second liquid stream into the chamber, wherein the first orifice has a diameter sufficiently smaller than the second orifice to permit penetration of the first liquid stream into the second liquid stream.

Abstract
A device and method for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluids is disclosed. The device can include a chamber formed by at least one wall. The wall can have a first orifice configured to permit the introduction of a first liquid stream into the chamber and an opposing second orifice configured to permit the introduction of a second liquid stream into the chamber. The first orifice can have a diameter sufficiently smaller than the second orifice to permit penetration of the first liquid stream into the second liquid stream.

12. A device for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluids comprising:
-
a flow-through channel for passing a hydrodynamic liquid, the flow-through channel having an outlet;
a cavitation chamber situated within the flow-through channel, the cavitation chamber defined by at least one wall and an exit orifice wherein;
the wall includes a first orifice configured to permit the introduction of a first liquid stream into the chamber and an opposing second orifice configured to permit the introduction of a second liquid stream into the chambers wherein the first and second orifices are generally aligned with each other and the first orifice has a diameter sufficiently smaller than the second orifice to permit penetration of the first liquid stream into the second liquid stream, and the exit orifice is in communication with the outlet;
a restriction wall in physical communication with the wall and the flow-through channel to prevent the hydrodynamic liquid from exiting the flow-through channel before entering the first and second orifices. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method of creating hydrodynamic cavitation in a chamber defined by at least one wall, the method comprising the steps of:
-
introducing a first liquid stream through a first orifice in the wall to create a first liquid jet;
introducing a second liquid stream through a second opposing orifice in the wall to create a second liquid jet that interacts with and penetrates the first liquid jet thereby creating a high shear intensity vortex contact layer resulting in hydrodynamic cavitation. - View Dependent Claims (16)
