Journal ArticleDOI
A review of cavitation in hydraulic machinery
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the recent progress for the cavitation study in the hydraulic machinery including turbo-pumps, hydro turbines, etc., and identified the 1-D analysis method, which is identified to be very useful for engineering applications regarding the cavitating flows in inducers, turbine draft tubes, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of Oscillating Cavitation of an Inducer
TL;DR: In this paper, the number of rotating cavitation cells and their propagation velocity were carefully determined from the phase difference of pressure fluctuations at various circumferential locations, and various kinds of oscillating cavitation were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic and Mechanical Performance of LE-7 LOX Pump Inducer
TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid oxygen turbopump has been developed for the main engine (LE-7) of the H-II rocket, which is the next generation of Japanese launch vehicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theoretical Analysis of Rotating Cavitation in Inducers
TL;DR: Tsujimoto et al. as discussed by the authors showed that rotating cavitation is caused by the positive mass flow gain factor, namely, the increase of cavity volume due to the decrease of flow rate, and to be completely different from rotating stall (R.S).
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Study on Rotating Cavitation of Rocket Propellant Pump Inducers
TL;DR: In this article, a simple modie cation of the inducer upstream housing almost completely extinguished the shaft vibrations caused by rotating cavitation in a liquid oxygen (LOX) turbopump for the H-II rocket.
