  • Cavitation swirl pulsation in the intake pipe of radial pumps [Elektronski vir]
    Predin, Andrej, 1961- ...
    Prerotation flow in the entrance pipe of turbomachines is created as a result of the larger category of secondary flows and it is important for pump hydraulic performance determination. This flow is ... an interaction with the pump cavitation, especially regarding cavitation swirl that is time and place dependent on flow properties (pump operation capacity and pump head). The experimental analysis of the cavitation swirl pressure pulsation, measured at the entrance (suction) pipe, is presented. A tested radial pump is installed in a special testing system. The results are discussed and given regarding time ad frequency domains depending on the pump operating properties, especially those of the entrance flow pressure.
