Numerical Investigation of Cavitation Phenomenon in the Turbopump Inducer of Cryogenic Engines, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farshchi, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Ebrahimi Chamgardani, Abbas (Supervisor)
Abstract
Simulation of the flow inside a turbopump inducer of a cryogenic engine, can help to reduce the number of experimental tests in the design phase. In cryogenic engines, high speed of the turbo pump, engine working at off-design conditions, startup and shutdown of the engine, can cause the pressure to drop below the vapor pressure at the inducer blades. In such circumstances, cavitation bubbles start to grow and collapse as they are washed by the flow to the regions with higher pressure. Cavitation is the rapid formation and collapse of vapour cavities in a liquid.The energy required for evaporation is received from the surrounding liquid which causes the temperature to drop in the...
