Which mechanism initiates cavitation erosion within high-speed centrifugal pumps?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence causes cavitation because turbulent kinetic energy dissipation creates localized low-pressure zones, causing vapor bubbles to form and implode near the impeller surface. Therefore, TKE dissipation initiates cavitation erosion, rather than purely laminar separation without turbulent effects, under these operational limits.
