Cavitating Flow in the Volute of a Centrifugal Pump at Flow Rates Above the Optimal Condition

Cavitation is regarded as a considerable factor causing performance deterioration of pumps under off-design conditions, especially at overload conditions. To investigate the unsteady cavitation evolution around the tongue of a pump volute, and its influence on the flow field within passages of the i...
