Which mechanism triggers erratic forces when a centrifugal pump operates far below its designed flow number?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent cavitation becomes dominant below a pump's normal flow rate because reduced pressure increases the bubble formation rate within recirculation zones; therefore cavitation damage and noise increase, rather than effects related to heat transfer dominance.
