Effects of Matching between the Inducer and the Impeller of a Centrifugal Pump on Its Cavitation Performance

The inducer is often used to prevent cavitation in a centrifugal pump. However, it may lead to deterioration of the cavitation performance of the pump when poorly matched with the impeller. Numerical simulations are employed to study the effects of the matching, specifically, the axial space and the...
