Pumps & Fluid Systems

Centrifugal pumps, curves & cavitation — how pumps move fluid through a system.

💧

Centrifugal Pump Operation

Cutaway 3D pump simulator — prime the casing, energize the motor and watch flow, head and power settle to the operating point.

📈

Pump Curve vs. System Curve

Find where the pump curve meets the system curve and move the real operating point live.

📏

Pump Head

Separate pressure, velocity and elevation contributions in a two-station head measurement bench.

Open Simulator →
🌀

Pump Suction & Discharge

Read gauge vs. absolute pressure on both sides of a pump and track the margin above vapor pressure.

Open Simulator →
💥

Pump Cavitation

Watch vapor bubbles form at the impeller eye and collapse as pressure recovers.

Open Simulator →
📉

NPSH

Build the NPSH-available balance term by term and compare it against a pump's NPSH3 curve.

⏸️

Pumps in Parallel

Run a twin-pump station and see branch flows add at a shared header head.

Open Simulator →
➡️

Pumps in Series

Pass one flow through a two-stage booster train and add the stage head rises.

🔨

Water Hammer

Close a valve and follow the pressure wave and its reflections through a reservoir–pipeline–valve system with a distributed elastic-wave calculation.

Control Valve & Pump Interaction

Compare a throttled pump/valve duty against a same-flow, speed-reduced reference case to see the modeled energy cost of throttling.
