Cavitation surge driven by backflow-vortex cavitation in an inducer under low-flow conditions

Cavitation surge under low-flow conditions is a major form of flow instability in inducer-equipped high-speed pumps, yet its spatiotemporal coupling with inlet backflow-vortex cavitation remains insufficiently resolved. In this work, synchronized high-speed visualization and pressure-pulsation measurements were employe...
