The Tip Clearance Cavitation Mechanism of a High-Speed Centrifugal Pump with a Splitter-Bladed Inducer
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
I suggest these modification to improve your articles.
1- the title is very general. it should be more specific to reflect the research you had done.
2- the problem did not explain well and it needs to be modified.
3- in section 2.2, figure3 is completely non-related to the test.
4- in computational, you have used laminar flow, why? if you read turbomachinery simulations research, you will find they are turbulent.
5- for any numerical research, mesh and time-step independence is a must. please add related data to your research.
6- the quality of the figures (9 to the end) is very poor. please use better and more clear pictures.
Thanks
