A CFD code was developed to investigate the inception of cavitation around impeller blades of centrifugal fuel pump using two dimensional cascade modeling. With the verification test for numerical validity of the developed code, the prediction of the onset of cavitation was made for the configuration of a newly designed KHP fuel pump. The calculation results show impeller design was free of cavitation if the pump operates within the operational temperature and rotational speed range. However, the cavitation would be relatively easy to occur at off design region of fuel pump where the rotational speed is higher than design limit. Specially, the onset of cavitation is sensitively dependent on the increase in fuel temperature while the decrease in temperature will reduce the possibility of cavitation inception in the pump.
