Reduced Order Modeling of a Rocket Engine Turbopump Inducer for Assessment of Pogo Instability

Cavitation in liquid rocket engine turbopump inducers can lead to system instabilities. One form of these flow oscillations is so-called "pogo instability", in which dynamic instability arises from the interaction of vehicle structural dynamics with thrust oscillations of a liquid fueled p...
