Cavitation in thermosensitive fluids is accompanied by a noticeable temperature drop inside a cavity. Motivated by the fact that most popular cavitation models have been developed without considering thermodynamic effects, the present study proposes physics-based corrections to existing cavitation models. Two primary corrections are adopting the physical bubble growth rate and separating bubble number density in the vaporization and condensation terms. The bubble growth rate in the cavitation mo
