The serious POGO instability experienced by many liquid propellant rockets results from a closed loop interaction between the first longitudinal structural mode of vibration and the dynamics of the propulsion system. One of the most important features in the latter is the cavitation compliance of the turbopumps. This report presents calculations of the blade cavitation compliance obtained from free streamline cascade theory and demonstrates the various influences of angle of attack, blade angle, blade thickness and cavitation number. Discrepancies between calculated and experimentally derived values are discussed.
