Unsteady Pressure Pulsation and Rotating Stall Characteristics in a Centrifugal Pump with Slope Volute

Unsteady flow structures can lead to severe vibration in centrifugal pump if the eigenfrequency of the rotor is equal to excitation frequency. In order to reduce rotor-stator interaction in centrifugal pump, a special slope volute was proposed. This paper explores the use of numerical simulation met...
