Abstract: Cryogenic fluids such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and liquid methane have often been used as liquid rocket propellants, and it is well known that the suction performance of turbopump ...

Abstract: Cavitation instability is a major vibration source in turbopump inducers, and its prevention is a critical design problem in rocket-engine development. As reported by Kang et al. , (2009, “Cause ...

Abstract: Turbopump inducers often have swirling backflow under a wide range of flow rates because they are designed with a certain angle of attack even at the design point in order to attain high ...
