Marina Karapuzova, Svitlana Lugova, Igor Tverdokhleb

Abstract

The article deals with the research results of flow in lateral inlet branch of centrifugal pumps. The flow structure analysis in semi-volute inlet branches of centrifugal pumps is shown. On the basis of analysis some recommendations on inlet branches designing including combined inlet branches of centrifugal pumps are shown.
