Abstract
The pressure rise in the impeller generates hydraulic forces and moments which act on the rotor. In particular forces in axial and radial direction are significant for appropriate sizing of shaft and bearings. While the radial force is determined by the pressure distribution around the impeller circumference, the axial force is governed by the flow through the impeller sidewall gaps and the resulting pressure distributions on the shrouds.
