Abstract

In the development of rocket turbo-pump, cavitation at the inducer is one of the major problems. Cryogenic fluids are commonly used for rocket propellant, therefore, thermodynamic effect becomes noticeable compared to conventional water cavitation. In the present study, a numerical simulation method for cryogenic cavitation is proposed, which reveals the difference between cryogenic and water cavitation.
