Analysis of the Formation Mechanism and Evolution of the Perpendicular Cavitation Vortex of Tip Leakage Flow in an Axial-Flow Pump for Off-Design Conditions

To understand the formation mechanism and evolution process of the perpendicular cavitation vortex (PCV) of an axial flow pump for off-design conditions, turbulent cavitating flows were numerically investigated using the rotation curvature-corrected shear stress transport (SST-CC) turbulence model a...
