The flow investigation inside a centrifugal pump impeller with laser Doppler velocimeter
Abstract
The flow distribution in an oilfield injection-pump impeller at low specific speeds is measured by using a laser Doppler velocimeter. After measuring and analyzing the velocity and turbulence in the pump impeller the jet-wake flow in the impeller passage is shown.
