A method, based on quasi three-dimensional analysis, of describing pump cavitation behaviour is proposed. Cavitation performance is related to impeller entrance design and the influence of the angle of attack of the leading edges on the flow is studied. Coefficients are derived from the pressure drop due separately to the vanes and shroud. The influence of incident angle on cavitation is shown as a function of the blade geometry and discussed. By comparison with experimental data on centrifugal pumps, it is shown that the present model can simulate the characteristics of inception cavitation at design and off-design conditions.
