The paper presents full 3D numerical simulations and experimental investigations of the cavitating flow through three axial inducers. These inducers are identified by the tip blade angle at the leading edge β 1T =8, 10, and 13 deg. The numerical and experimental investigations were carried out at the LEMFI laboratory (Laboratoire d'Energetique et de Mecanique de Fluides Interne) of the ENSAM-Paris center (Ecole rationale Superieure d'Arts et Metiers). A review of the cavitating regime modeling and the cavitation homogeneous model used for this paper's calculations is first presented. The numerical model is based on a combination of the multiphase flow equations with a truncated version of the Rayleigh-Plesset model predicting the complicated growth and collapse processes of bubbles. The mass transfers due to cavitation are source/sink terms in continuity equations of the liquid and vapor phases
