Prediction of Cavitation Evolution and Cavitation Erosion on Centrifugal Pump Blades by the DCM-RNG Method

Cavitation can reduce the efficiency and service life of the centrifugal pumps, and a long-term operation under cavitation conditions will cause cavitation damage on the surface of material. The external characteristic test of the IS65-50-174 single-stage centrifugal pump was carried out. Moreover,...
