TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated tip-wall vortex cavitation in axial flow pumps and proposed a relationship between the tip wall cortex cavitation and axial-flow pumps.Abstract:
: This is an investigation of tip-wall vortex cavitation in axial-flow pumps. This form of cavitation occurs in pumps, and its effects need to be minimized. Because this form of vortex cavitation is not completely understood, a study of it is required. A relationship is required to predict the trends in tip-wall cortex cavitation. (Author)read more

Three-dimensional flow structures and associated turbulence in the tip region of a waterjet pump rotor blade
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the 3D flow structure and turbulence within the tip leakage vortex (TLV) of an axial waterjet pump rotor by matching the optical refractive index of the transparent pump with that of the fluid.

TL;DR: In this paper, a visualization study using smoke to see the secondary flow phenomena in the rotor-blade tip region of a low-speed turbine is presented, with a general description of the smoke patterns, shroud boundary-layer considerations, transition rotor tip speed, and high-speed-turbine operating conditions.
