Numerical analysis of cavitation instabilities in inducer blade cascade / Benoît Pouffary in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 130 N° 4 (Avril 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 130 N° 4 (Avril 2008) . - 8 p. Titre : Numerical analysis of cavitation instabilities in inducer blade cascade Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benoît Pouffary, Auteur ; Regiane Fortes Patella, Auteur ; Jean-Luc Reboud, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 8 p. Note générale : Fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Unsteady  cavitation;  inducer  blade  cascade Résumé : The cavitation behavior of a four-blade rocket engine turbopump inducer was simulated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FINE∕TURBO ™. The code was modified to take into account a cavitation model based on a homogeneous approach of cavitation, coupled with a barotropic state law for the liquid∕vapor mixture. In the present study, the numerical model of unsteady cavitation was applied to a four-blade cascade drawn from the inducer geometry. Unsteady behavior of cavitation sheets attached to the inducer blade suction side depends on the flow rate and cavitation number σ. Numerical simulations of the transient evolution of cavitation on the blade cascade were performed for the nominal flow rate and different cavitation numbers, taking into account simultaneously the four blade-to-blade channels. Depending on the flow parameters, steady or unsteady behaviors spontaneously take place. In unsteady cases, subsynchronous or supersynchronous regimes were observed. Some mechanisms responsible for the development of these instabilities are proposed and discussed.

Numerical simulation of 3D cavitating flows / Benoît Pouffary in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 130 N° 6 (Juin 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 130 N° 6 (Juin 2008) . - 10 p. Titre : Numerical simulation of 3D cavitating flows : analysis of cavitation head drop in turbomachinery Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benoît Pouffary, Auteur ; Regiane Fortes Patella, Auteur ; Jean-Luc Reboud, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 10 p. Note générale : Fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cavitating  flows;  cavitation  team;  turbomachinery Résumé : The numerical simulation of cavitating flows in turbomachinery is studied at the Turbomachinery and Cavitation team of Laboratoire des Ecoulements Géophysiques et Industriels (LEGI), Grenoble, France in collaboration with the French space agency (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, CNES), the rocket engine division of Snecma and Numeca International. A barotropic state law is proposed to model the cavitation phenomenon and this model has been integrated in the CFD code FINE/TURBO ™. An analysis methodology allowing the numerical simulation of the head drop induced by the development of cavitation in cold water was proposed and applied in the case of two four-bladed inducers and one centrifugal pump. Global results were compared to available experimental results. Internal flows in turbomachinery were investigated in depth. Numerical simulations enabled the characterization of the mechanisms leading to the head drop and the visualization of the effects of the development of cavitation on internal flows.
