CFD SIMULATION OF A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP IMPELLER WITH VARIATIONS OF NUMBER OF BLADES

The purpose of this paper is to model and simulate the water flow into the impeller of a centrifugal pump. Using CFD techniques two impellers were modeled, differing only by the number of blades of each one (6 and  10). From the results of the simulations, the impeller’s characteristic and the resul...
