Abstract

In order to control the weight balance of the waterjet propulsion ship, the pump's weight needed to be decreased. We reduced length of pump hub, overall length of pump and chord length of impeller and stator. To keep pump efficiency and cavitation performance similar to the $1^{st}$design pump, optimum design and experiment were conducted. This paper describes experimental method and numerical analysis for pump design. At the blade design stage, performance analysis of the pump is conducted using commercial CFD codes ($BladeGen^+$,CFX-10). Required performance and cavitation characteristics of the design pumps were measured and observed using the stand-alone test apparatus. The weight of the pump was successfully decreased through a series of pump design processes composed of blade design, performance analysis and model test.
