Abstract
With the idea of reducing the occurrence region of rotating cavitation in inducer by changing the inlet boundary condition, an analysis of cavitating flow around an inducer is made by using a singularity method. In the model, it is assumed that the inlet duct is connected to the space where the pressure is constant. Through the analysis with various conditions, it was found that the occurrence regions of forward and backward rotating cavitation decrease with the decrease of the length of inlet duct.
