Abstract

As the operating range of centrifugal pump is expanded recently, the various suction conditions are demanded. The most important problem in the suction conditions is cavitation. In this study, to analyze the characteristics for such the cavitation, first the validity of the numerical analysis was certified through comparison with the experimental result of performance curve according to flow rate for the industrial centrifugal pump. At this time, the transient numerical analysis for the full type model of the centrifugal pump was performed to get more accurate results. The numerical analysis on the cavitation of centrifugal pump were conducted on the two-phase flow as the same method of one-phased flow.
