Study of multi-stage centrifugal pump guide vanes in a package of hydrodynamic simulating STAR CCM+

Abstract

For multistage centrifugal pumps, one of the main components is the guide vane. A rather important task for the guide vane is compliance with the requirements of the technical specification. It is equally important technologically correct to produce a guide vane. The manufacture of such parts is a time consuming process. To avoid a number of difficulties, this article explores the two most frequently used guide vanes of hydrodynamic simulating tools.
