Additional information
Design of pumps to cope with cavitation has traditionally been based on results from test rigs. This research in collaboration with Graz University of Technology and Amarith Ltd (www.amarith.com), a UK pump company, was one of the first to use CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to predict cavitation and part load performance. It shows that ‘design to specification’ is possible, ensuring the installed machines operate at the highest possible efficiency (Oliver.Brigginshaw@amarith.com).
