Experimental Characterization of Unsteady Forces Triggered by Cavitation on a Centrifugal Pump †
The paper presents an experimental campaign aimed at the characterization of the relationship between cavitation-induced instabilities and forces acting on the shaft, relevant to space application turbopumps. The experiments have been carried out on a six-bladed unshrouded centrifugal turbopump. Pre...
