                The conclusions will provide the basis and reference for the performance prediction of axial-flow pumps based on CFD.
The numerical simulation and performance prediction of the internal flow of axial-flow pump bases on CFD could reduce or even replace the model test which has a high cost and a long cycle.In recent years, the numerical simulation of the internal flow of axial-flow pumps based on RANS equation has been widely used in flow analysis of axial-flow pump models, optimization of inlet and outlet runners of pump station and so on.
Numerical simulation method Governing Equations.
The second order implicit scheme is adopted for the turbulent simulation.
The calculation results of steady simulation are showed in Table 1.

                Mixer geometries have also been optimised with the use of CFD, for instance with respect to the twist angle of solid elements of the Kenics mixer [4].
In our simulations, an entrance and exit section of 0.05 meters is added to the pipe to assure well-developed flow into and out of the mixer region.
The flow during the simulations was assumed to be three dimensional, steady and incompressible.
(1) Comparison with literature data In order to verify the validity of the proposed correlation obtained from CFD simulations, we compared it with several correlations available in the literature.
Conclusions It can be conclude from the CFD simulation that the pressure drop increase with the increase of element number and the pressure drop per element is independent of element number.

                A 2D CFD numerical method based on loose coupling algorithms was adopted to simulate vortex induce vibration of a spring-mounted cylinder.
Obviously, two-dimensional numerical simulation is the basis of "strip theory approach".
Much of the numerical errors mainly result from aspects of the problem solution, such as the procedure of iteration, the grids and time step size in most CFD simulation cases.
The hydrodynamics in each sub-step of CFD calculation can be worked out by the integral form of the surface force passed to the rigid body motions.
