Experimental Study on the Classification and Evolution of the Tip Cavitation Morphology in Axial Waterjet Pumps with Two Different Blade Numbers

Tip leakage flow and induced unstable cavitation can significantly damage the performance of axial waterjet pumps. This study investigated the impact of blade numbers on cavitating conditions in an axial waterjet pump by conducting tests of performance characteristics and high-speed photography expe...
