Download or read book Fluid Dynamics of Cavitation and Cavitating Turbopumps written by Luca d'Agostino and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-20 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the fluid dynamics of cavitation with special reference to high power density turbopumps, where it represents the major source of performance and life degradation. While covering the more fundamental aspects of cavitation and the main kinds of cavitating flows, there is focus on the hydrodynamics and instabilities of cavitating turbopumps. The book also illustrates the alternative approaches for modeling and engineering simulation of cavitating flows.
