The non-intrusive detection of incipient cavitation in centrifugal pumps

This thesis investigates methods for the detection of incipient cavitation in centrifugal pumps. The thesis begins by describing the working of the centrifugal pump which makes this type of pump particularly prone to cavitation. The basic mechanisms of cavitation are described, which explain why thi...
