The experimental characterization of the rotordynamic fluid forces acting on a whirling inducer and the analysis of their influence on its pumping and suction performance are presented and discussed as functions of the operational conditions. The paper illustrates the first application of the novel approach recently developed at Alta for the simultaneous measurement of the relevant experimental data, demonstrating its remarkable versatility and effectiveness.

Abstract
The experimental characterization of the rotordynamic fluid forces acting on a whirling inducer and the analysis of their influence on its pumping and suction performance are presented and discussed as functions of the operational conditions. The paper illustrates the first application of the novel approach recently developed at Alta for the simultaneous measurement of the relevant experimental data, demonstrating its remarkable versatility and effectiveness.File in questo prodotto:
