The role of turbulence in the impeller-volute interaction in a centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pumps operating at off-design conditions suffer flow separation at the blade leading edge, with the resulting turbulent wakes subsequently developing along the blade passage. Turbulent eddies finally interact with the volute tongue, affecting jet-wake patterns and producing highly anisotropic flow structure...
