Influence of the empirical coefficients of cavitation model on predicting cavitating flow in the centrifugal pump

The phenomenon of cavitation is an unsteady flow, which is nearly inevitable in pump. It would degrade the pump performance, produce vibration and noise and even damage the pump. Hence, to improve accuracy of the numerical prediction of the pump cavitation performance is much desirable. In the prese...
