Which outcome occurs when cryogenic fuel flows exceed a turbopump's stability threshold?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence causes cavitation because rapid pressure fluctuations create vapor bubbles, which collapse violently. This action erodes materials, therefore impeller damage occurs, rather than the other failure modes that arise from different dynamics.
