This paper proposes a method to optimize the design of a typical multistage centrifugal pump based on energy loss model and Computational Fluid Dynamics (ELM/CFD). Different grid numbers, turbulence models, convergence precisions, and surface roughness are calculated for a typical multistage centrif...
