Abstract:

Centrifugal pumps are widely used products in engineering field. It contains many different parameters according to the usage areas. At the design stage, many design parameters must be created for different flow rates and pump heads. According to the development of technology, the use of computer aided programs in the design process has become widespread. In this way, time is saved and cost is reduced. Computational Fluid Dynamics (HAD) or CFD analysis, as we are used to in a foreign language, is quite widely used in pump design. After product design and solid model generation, numerical analysis in the pump can be performed using analysis programs. The most important advantage over experimental methods is that the parameters can be changed in an unlimited number. The process can be continued until the desired values are obtained. In the light of the information obtained with the help of a computer, production and use processes can be switched. In this study, a sample centrifugal pump is considered and the numerical analysis steps are explained respectively. The methods and admissions used in the program are considered according to general literature knowledge. The methods to be applied are unlimited and solution networks can be expanded by different ways if wanted.
