Suppression Effect of Upstream Installed Ring-Shaped Obstacle Plate on Cavitation Surge in Pump Inducers

The attachment of an inducer upstream of a main impeller is a powerful method to improve the suction performance. It is known, however, that the cavitation surge oscillation, which is focused in the present paper, occurs under the operation condition with partial flow rate and low suction pressure....
