The experimental characterization of the rotordynamic fluid forces acting on a whirling centrifugal impeller has been investigated at different flow rates and cavitating conditions. The recently developed method for continuously measuring the rotordynamic forces at variable whirl ratios has been readapted and successfully applied for measuring the same forces at constant whirl ratio but variable cavitation...
The paper introduces and briefly outlines the research activities on cavitation and turbopump hydrodynamics conducted in the last 20 years at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of Pisa University, at Centrospazio, a nonprofit space propulsion laboratory established in 1989, and at Alta S.p.A., a private spin-off company founded in 2000 and active in the aerospace sector. Both the experimental...
