Numerical Analysis of the Effect of Cavitation on the Tip Leakage Vortex in an Axial-Flow Pump

To understand the effect of cavitation on the tip leakage vortex (TLV), turbulent cavitating flows were numerically investigated using the shear-stress transport (SST) k–ω turbulence model and the Zwart–Gerber–Belamri cavitation model. In this work, two computations were performed—one without cavita...
