Centrifugal Pump

Pump head and efficiency curves with a rotating impeller

Category: Internal Flow & Fluid MachineryComplexity: Complex

0 views

Water flow inside the impeller and volute is simulated at several flow rates to obtain head, power and efficiency curves. The results are used to evaluate the impeller design and the pump operating point.

Frequently asked questions about Centrifugal Pump

What is included in the "Centrifugal Pump" package?

Geometry and mesh prepared from your drawings; Simulation case and data files (Fluent/CFX) with boundary settings; Technical report: assumptions, results and design recommendations; Contour, vector and animation outputs ready for presentation; A 60-minute results walkthrough and two rounds of revisions.

Can you simulate my own geometry?

Yes. Send CAD files or drawings and the operating conditions (flow rates, temperatures, materials). We prepare the geometry, mesh and boundary conditions for your case.

How long does it take?

Roughly 30 working days after we receive the geometry and conditions, depending on mesh size and how many design variants you want compared.

How is the price decided?

Each project has three packages: Scope 1 (calculations) US$375, Scope 2 (calculations + CFD simulation) US$906 and Scope 3 (full engineering report + design recommendations) US$1,500, excluding 11% VAT. Pick the one that fits; more design variants, transient runs, moving parts or validation against experiments adjust the quote after a short consultation.
