| Description |
This paper reports an experimental investigation of rotordynamic forces in a whirling axial flow inducer under the influence of cavitation at various flow coefficients. The results show the occurrence of large destabilizing peaks in the force tagential to the whirl orbit for positive whirl frequency ratios. The magnitude of the destabilizing forces increased with a decrease in cavitation number and flow coefficient. The rotordynamic data obtained do not exhibit quadratic functional behavior normally assumed in many rotordynamic models. Consequently, conventional generalized stiffness, damping, and intertia matrices cannot be determined for the inducer. The results demonstrate the complexity of rotordynamic forces and their consequences on stability of axial flow inducers.
