Which outcome occurs when exceeding a liquid rocket engine's oxidizer pump threshold?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding thresholds generates excessive flow speeds. Intense turbulence then causes unstable vapor cavities to form if pressure drops locally; therefore cavitation damage occurs, rather than controlled nozzle expansion or improved flows, because of the fluid dynamic instability.
