Abstract
The present research investigates the cavitation instability in centrifugal pump with two dimensional impeller. In order to examine the cavitation instability, two types of two dimensional impeller are designed. These impellers that are simulated by CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) depend on the angle of the blade. Boundary conditions are total pressure at inlet and mass flow at outlet. Cavitation number is adjusted by total pressure. As a result, CFD shows that decreasing cavitation number in these impellers makes not only the pressure coefficient decreases but also the cavity volume increases.
