The tip clearance, a compact gap between the inducer blade and casing wall, is critical to both liquid leakage cavitation-induced forces of turbopump. In this study, we numerically investigate effect clearance on cavitation characteristics an inducer. Six different clearances, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 mm, namely Models A–F, were designed evaluate performance, cavity structure, loading, radial...
