Numerical Simulation of Turbopump Inducer Cavitating Behavior

In the present study a numerical model of 3D cavitating flows is proposed. It is applied to investigate the behavior of a spatial turbopump inducer in noncavitating and cavitating conditions. Experimental and numerical results concerning inducer characteristics and performance breakdown are compared...
