Abstract

Flow analysis was carried out for a double-suction centrifugal pump. Impeller-only models and a full pump model were used to simulate the velocity field and the pressure field of the pump. Heads and efficiencies were calculated with flow rates in order to obtain general performance of the pump. The calculation results were compared to the experimental data, and satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, it may be said that the CFD serves as a useful tool for pump designs.
