The influence of the Cavitation and Flashing phenomena in the formation of “scallops” within karstic caves. The Chorros Cave case (Albacete, Spain): The theory of the inverse siphon in the “Reventón” phenomenon by F. Pavía Alemany, T. Rodríguez-Estrella

“…The influence of the negative pressures of Cavitation and Flashing phenomena in the formation of “scallops”, within karstic caves, is hereby studied. In this sense, the particular case of the Chorros Cave (Albacete, Spain) is analyzed, and the theory of the inverse siphon is proposed in order to explain the “Reventón” phenomenon.…”

Reasons for large fluctuation of radon and CO₂ levels in a dead-end passage of a karst cave (Postojna Cave, Slovenia) by J. Vaupotič, F. Gabrovšek, A. Gregorič

“…Measurements of radon concentration were performed at three geomorphologically different locations in Postojna Cave, Slovenia. In the part of the cave open to visitors, annual average radon activity concentrations of 3255 ± 1190 Bq m⁻³ and 2315 ± 1019 Bq m⁻³ were found at the lowest point (LP) and in the Lepe jame (Beautiful Caves, BC), respectively. …”
