Fluid‐induced rotordynamic forces and instabilities

In the late 1970s, the authors began a collaboration with our colleague Tom Caughey that helped define a new set of fluid–structure interaction phenomena in turbomachines, namely fluid‐induced rotordynamic forces and instabilities. That collaboration and the 31 joint ‘ABC’ papers it produced epitomized Tom Caughey's genius and we reprise it here in his honor.
