Numerical Modelization of the Flow in Centrifugal Pump: Volute Influence in Velocity and Pressure Fields

A 3D-CFD simulation of the impeller and volute of a centrifugal pump has been performed using CFX codes. The pump has a specific speed of 32 (metric units) and an outside impeller diameter of 400 mm. First, a 3D flow simulation for the impeller with a structured grid is presented. A sensitivity anal...
