A transient flow analysis of a longitudinal vibration in a liquid rocket engine propellent feed system and its supporting structural framework is described, together with supporting experimental tests. Nonlinear friction losses are used in the partial differential equations of continuity and momentum describing the unsteady flow. These equations are solved by the methods of characteristics and placed in form suitable for digital computation. The turbopump steady-state characteristic curves are used to find the transient pressure rise across the pump, and the effects of pump inlet cavitation are estimated from experimental data.

Test results are presented for the rotordynamic coefficients of a hybrid bearing that is representative of bearings for liquid-rocket-engine turbopump applications. The bearing is tested in the following two degraded conditions: (a) one of five orifices plugged, and (b) a locally enlarged clearance to simulate a worn condition. Test data are presented at 24,600 rpm, with supply pressures of 4.0, 5.5, and 7.0 MPa, and eccentricity ratios from 0.1 to 0.5 in 0.1 increments. Overall, the results suggest that neither a single plugged orifice nor significant wear on the bearing land will “disable” a well-designed hybrid bearing. These results do not speak to multiple plugged orifices and are not an endorsement for operations without filters to prevent plugging orifices.

Rotating cavitation is one of the most important problems in the development of modern high performance rocket pump inducers. In this paper, a numerical simulation of rotating cavitation phenomenon in a 2D blade cascade of liquid rocket engine inducer was carried out using a mixture model based on Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The purpose is to investigate the characterization of rotating cavitation in a high speed inducer. The results show that when sub-synchronous rotating cavitation occurs, the speed for the length of the blade surface cavitation is lower than the speed frequency of rotation shaft with the same direction. The external aspect is that the pressure at the upstream of blades changes synchronous. Thus, the generation of sub-synchronous rotating cavitation is closely related to the changes of flow angel which caused by the flow fluctuations. Hence, elimination of the flow rate redistribution among the flow channel can effectively suppress the occurrence of this phenomenon.
