Course Information

This Course is designed to help engineers design, test, and 
run more effective, more economical, and more reliable 
pumps. Engineers will come to understand the best state-of-
the-art design practices and learn the latest theories on 
performance, cavitation, dynamic forces, and noise. The 
course will review the latest advances in design tools and 
will provide designers with expert and relevant instruction 
on pump design optimization.

The Course begins with an extensive survey of the current 
technology base for pump design. Topics include impellers, 
diffusers, volutes, and other flow elements. The 
limitations on pump operation and range due to stall and 
other instabilities are described. Special attention is 
given to problems and design issues specifically associated 
with pump flows, namely cavitation, unsteady flow, and 
vibration. The analysis of stress and
vibration in centrifugal pumps will be covered in detail.

Emphasis is placed on modern methods available to the pump 
designer for blade layout and design, using flexible 
geometric techniques associated with hydrodynamic loading 
calculations and the computational fluid dynamic analysis 
of pump flows. The advantages and limitations of such 
analyses are reviewed thoroughly by the instructor.
