The main objective of the thesis is to verify the hydraulic inducer designs and to determine its effect on the cavitation characteristics of the pump. To increase the suction capability and cavitation resistance, the inducer is placed in front of the impeller centrifugal pump. Its role is to protect the impeller against the cavitation. The literary part of the thesis analyzes the issue of cavitation, its origin, development and termination of the cavitation bubble with so-called implosion. Special attention is devoted to describtion of cavitation effect occuring at the hydrodynamic pumps. In the theoretical part, the author is then dealing with the general principles and so far used approaches to the inducer design. The practical part of the thesis describes the process and the derivation of own designs of cylindrical inducer. The aim of the used, unconventional approaches to the inducer design is to achieve a constant pressure field and specific energy of the inducer design output. Partial variants of inducer blades design geometry are tested by the controlled calculation with CFD.
