Effects of Leading Edge Sweep on the Cavitating Characteristics of Inducer Pumps
It is well known that leading edge sweep has a favorable effect on the cavitation of turbomachines. However, the mechanisms of the improvement have not been made clear. It has been shown that the lift and the drag on a cavitating swept single hydrofoil can be correlated fairly well based on the velo...
