Abstract:Theoretical and experimental investigations have been made to predict the performance of a backward-curved blade centrifugal pump. A mathematical model based on steady twodimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations has been developed. The numerical solution was made using the primitive variables with artificial compressibility. The predictorcorrector method proposed by MacCormack was employed. The use of this technique involved imaginary rows behind walls, and periodic boundaries at far upstream a… Show more
