On the Effect of Cavitation on the Radial Forces and Hydrodynamic Stiffness of a Centrifugal Pump

Abstract

The asymmetric flow within a volute exerts a radial force on a centrifugal impeller. The present paper presents experimental measurements of the radial forces on the impeller in the presence of cavitation.
