One source of unsteadiness in turbopump inducers consists in a rotating cavitation behavior, characterized by different cavity shapes on the different blades, which leads to super- or subsynchronous disturbances. This phenomenon is simulated for the case of a simple two-dimensional blade cascade corresponding to a typical four-blade inducer. A numerical model of unsteady cavitating flows was adapted to take into account nonmatching connections and periodicity conditions. Single-channel and four-channel computations were performed, and in the latter case, nonsymetrical unstable flow patterns were obtained. Limits of stability according to the mass flow rate and the cavitation number are presented. Qualitative comparisons with experiments, instability criterion, and the mechanisms of instabilities are also investigated
