    This document summarizes an experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a centrifugal pump impeller. Experimental tests were conducted on a pump with a 111mm impeller diameter to evaluate performance under various operating conditions. The impeller geometry was modeled in Solidworks and meshed in ANSYS for CFD analysis to virtually predict performance and verify experimental results. The CFD analysis showed complex internal flows in impellers can be well predicted to aid pump design, and results from CFD analysis matched experimental data satisfactorily.

    Abstract

    To analyze the centrifugal pump using the CFD techniques and


    predicting the performance of a mixed flow-type impeller of centrifugal
    Pump, in this paper, Experimental Investigations were conducted on
    centrifugal water pump with a 111 mm outlet impeller diameter,
    backward curved blades, nominal discharge of 4.00 lps and 12 m of
    head to assess the effect of various operating conditions like Head,
    Discharge, Power and Speed on the performance of the pump. Further
    the impeller is modelled using Solid works software and Computational
    Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is carried out using ANSYS CFX software
    on the developed model of impeller to predict the performance
    virtually and to verify with the experimental result of the pump.
    Introduction

    With the aid of the CFD approach, the complex internal flows in water pump impellers,
    which are not fully understood yet, can be well predicted, to speed up the pump design
    procedure.
    Experimental Work
