TY - JOUR AU - Garcia, Rafiqul TI - The Finite Difference Method Applied to Cavitation in Centrifugal Pumps JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1995 VL - 19 IS - 2 SP - 501 EP - 517 AB - Recent failures observed in process control loops have renewed interest in the study of cavitation in centrifugal pumps. The model is calibrated against field records and then exercised using the finite difference method. Convergence was achieved in fewer than 9 iterations for all the cases considered. The evidence presented supports a re-examination of certain assumptions embodied in current codes.
