Cavitation in two-dimensional and cylindrical nozzles with various length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios and its effects on liquid jet deformation are investigated by carrying out simultaneous high-speed visualization of the cavitation and jet. The applicability of a modified cavitation number to quantitative prediction of supercavitation formation for nozzles with various LID ratios is also examined. As a result, the following conclusions are obtained. (1) The modified cavitation number a c can predict supercavitation in nozzles of various shapes and L/D ratios. (2) When cavitation length is less than twice the nozzle diameter D, the cavitation length normalized by the diameter (L(cav)/D), rather than by the nozzle length (L(cav)/L), can be expressed as a unique function of sigma(c). (3) Once a cavitation film is formed in long nozzles (L/D
