Abstract:
The present invention relates to an inducer geometry which can optimize the behavior stability of cavitation in an inducer having a plurality of blades of the same geometry. In the inducer having a plurality of blades of the same geometry, a blade loading at a tip side in a front half of a blade is larger than that in a rear half of the blade; and when a blade angle from a circumferential direction of the inducer is expressed by βb (degree) and a meridional distance is expressed by m (mm), an increase rate dβb/dm of the blade angle at the tip side is not less than 0.2 from a blade leading edge to a non-dimensional meridional location of 0.15, and the increase rate dβb/dm of the blade angle at a mid-span is not less than 0.25 from the blade leading edge to the non-dimensional meridional location of 0.15.
