And fluent 6.3 has been used to perform the simulation as the solver.
Fig. 2 shows the simulation result for case 1, case 2, case 3, case 4, and case 5.
And then in Fig. 2 the last two pictures show that simulation results for case 4, case 5.
Since the flow characteristics and turbulence kinetic energy are difficult to observe, the CFD studies can be an useful tool for researching the performance in the modern life.

Keywords: Double-channel with double-suctionpump, Impeller, Volute, Matching
Abstract.In order to study the matching optimization of the impeller and volute as well asthe flow characteristics ofdouble-channel with double-suction pump ,this paper based on CFD performance prediction method uses the same impeller to match the volute with different base diameters, guaranteeing the volute inlet width, flow cross-sectional area, and tongue position unchanged .The calculation results show that scheme A with the largest volute base diameter can not only achieve theexcellent energy characteristics and the velocity-pressure uniform distributions, but also the exchange of the fluid energy is more sufficient in the volute.
Because of the above reasons, this paper based on CFD performance prediction method and predecessors' research results, using the same impeller to match different base diameter volutes,study the influence of different base diameter volutes for the internal flow characteristics of the double-channel with double-suction pump.
As can be seen from the Q-H curve, the changingtendency of the simulation and experimental values are basically the same.
In the optimum condition point, the simulation head is 12m, the experimental head is 11.74m.The relative error of the simulation and experimental values is 2.3%.
From the Q-η curve can be seen, the simulation value is slightly higher than the experimental value, which is due to the numerical simulation not considering the pump volume losses and the friction losses between the water and the plate, etc.

The boundary layer separation is (given by CFD prediction) at s/smax = 66%.
The separation of the boundary layer occurs (by the CFD prediction) at the same point.
For t/c = 0.6 the integral values of KEL obtained by CFD are ¼ lower compared to experimental data (Fig. 4).
The numerical simulations predict that there isn´t any transition in boundary layer for all cases without boundary layer separation.
The small differences in the trends of KEL as a function of Mach number in comparison with experimental data were discovered, when the numerical simulations predict the slight increase of KEL with increasing Mach number.
