A positive displacement pump delivers at a fixed speed a nearly constant flow rate
independently of the back pressure. In contrast, the flow rate of a centrifugal pump depends …

The paper presents full 3D numerical simulations and experimental investigations of the
cavitating flow through three axial inducers. These inducers are identified by the tip blade …

Installing an inducer upstream of the main impeller is an effective approach for improving the
anti-cavitation performance of a highspeed centrifugal pump. For a high-speed centrifugal …

Cavitation is a serious problem in the development of high-speed turbopumps, and an
inducer is often used to avoid cavitation in the main impeller. Thus, the inducer often …

Cavitation is an important issue in pumps and usually starts on the blade leading-edge. For
fixed blades with constant rotational speeds and specific flow rates, the incident angle …

The longitudinal polarization of the Λb baryon is measured at the LEP e+ e− collider by
DELPHI. It is determined from the charged lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249±19 Λb …

In order to study the effects of inlet sweepback angle on the cavitation performance of
inducers based on the Reynolds NS equation, RNG k-ε turbulent model, and Schnerr and …

Inducer is often used to improve the cavitation performance of pump. In order to study the
cavitation characteristics of inducer under low flow condition of high-speed pump, high …

Instabilities of a partial cavity developed on a hydrofoil, a converging-diverging step, or in an
interblade channel have already been investigated in many previous works. The aim of this …

In this paper, the effect of the inducer tip clearance is studied to understand its impact on the
cavitating and noncavitating performance of centrifugal pumps. Helical inducers with …
