Measurement of thermal parameter and Reynolds number effects on cavitation instability onset in a turbopump inducer

This study experimentally examines how the non-dimensional thermal parameter and Reynolds number affect cavitation instability onset in a turbopump inducer using water. Based on the time-resolved static pressure measured at the inlet of the turbopump inducer, the onset cavitation number of rotating...
