I think we have the same understanding of cavitation. JWFokker was concerned about a "fluid noise". Kinking the inlet was
a test to rule out cavitation. The test was not meant to reduce cavitation (more likely to exacerbate it) but to modify or eliminate any other noises caused by flow.
The result was negative: JWFokker reported "the noise remained the same".
