In this study, redesign of a vaporizer sea-water pump has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics. The flow field of the specified pump model is simulated and analyzed. In the flow analysis full pump model has been used, and multi-block grids are employed to solve the governing equations. In order to improve pump efficiency, systematic redesign has been performed to remove the flow recirculation near the hub of the diffuser vanes. The modified model shows about 4 % improvement in pump efficiency compared to the given model.
