Abstract: Unsteady cavitation phenomena such as rotating cavitation and cavitation surge are often observed in a turbopump inducer of a rocket engine, sometimes causing undesirable oscillation of the system. ...

Abstract: Oscillating cavitation of an inducer was observed through unsteady inlet pressure measurements and by use of high speed video picture, covering a wide range of flow coefficient and cavitation ...

Abstract: Based on the length of the tip cavitation as an indication of cavitation, we focused on the effect of thermodynamics on cavitation performances and cavitation instabilities in an inducer. ...

Abstract: Cavitation in cryogenic fluids has a thermodynamic effect because of the thermal imbalance around the cavity. It improves cavitation performances in turbomachines due to the delay of cavity ...
