Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on pump performance. To this end this, using commercial codes, ANSYS CFX and BladeGen, we simulated pump performance in terms of efficiency, head and shaft power, both with and without surface roughness. Finally simulation and experiment results were compared for a quantitative analysis. The results of this comparison showed that surface roughness led to an about 7% reduction in pump efficiency.
