A study on velocity profile in pump impeller and its casing

This project is to study velocity profile in pump impeller and its casing using numerical simulations in commercial software COSMOSFloWorks. The pump has different number of blades of impeller and a circular casing. The numerical simulations are carried out with a multiple frame of reference to pred...
