The present contribution focusses on numerical simulation of cavitating flows in complex geometry. We consider compressible flows and cavitation models assuming a homogeneous barotropic flow behavior. Different numerical issues are analyzed and possible solutions are presented and validated. Finally, an application to the simulation of the flow in a real turbopump inducer designed for liquid propelled rockets is presented.
