So then I do need to worry about cavitation? The maximum force I was hoping to exert on the skin is about 7N, or an internal pressure about 50kPa below atmospheric, so I had hoped that moving the boundary could accomplish this. Is there a way I could do this effectively with a linear servo as...

Hello all, I've been wondering how water reacts in a closed, rigid system with one moving boundary. Assuming the system is perfectly filled with water, and one side of the boundary moves (increasing the volume), how does this affect the pressure in the system? Since water is...
