Abstract: In this paper, the software Fluent was employed and the two-dimensional flow fields, such as flow distribution, velocity distribution, pressure distribution, turbulent kinetic energy distribution are obtained. The results show that the flow, velocity, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy distribution are significantly different and asymmetric. The results have referenced significance for design and analysis of the Centrifugal Pump. 1 Introduction Centrifugal pump that is the important fluid conveying equipment is not only widely used in the high performance pump industrials, such as nuclear power, thermal power and other industrial sectors, but also used in the in the national economy important industrials, such as agricultural water pumps and living people pumps. [1-3]. Because of the interaction of the pump vane and rotor stator, the internal flow of centrifugal pump show the nonuniformity that is highly asymmetric in space and strongly unsteady in time, which lead to the increase of the pump loss, decrease of the efficiency, produce of the noise and vibration. In the traditional design process of the centrifugal pump, a successful design model of the centrifugal pump tends to be repeated several times. With the development of computer technology, the design of the centrifugal pump has changed from the traditional experience design to the design combined CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) transition design and experimental verification, which is a major innovation for the design of centrifugal pump. Numerical simulation has been widely used in analysis of impeller design and flow field. At present, there are a lot of literatures studied on the inner flow field of centrifugal pump. In most cases, the application of CFD technology in the design of the hydraulic model can effectively reflect the distribution of the field of the centrifugal pump. In this paper, the N-S equations and the standard k-εmodel based on two dimensional flow field, the centrifugal pump was simulated by FLUENT software, the velocity distribution, pressure distribution, the total pressure distribution, turbulent kinetic energy distribution and outlet velocity distribution map was analyzed, which has a certain reference significance for optimization and improvement of structure design of the centrifugal pump. 2 Control equation of CFD Model The fluid flow is controlled by the law of the physical conservation that includes the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of momentum. According to this law, incompressible Newtonian fluid continuity equation and momentum equation in absolute coordinate system are obtained. The continuity equation, ∂ U i = 0 ∂ x i ( 1) The momentum conservation equation,

Where, uiuj is the Reynolds stress tensor. Because the RANS equations is not closed, the k-ε model is chosen.

3 Modeling and Analysis 3.1 Working principle of centrifugal pump Centrifugal pump is worked by the centrifugal force generated by the rotating impeller. Before the start, it is necessary for centrifugal pump to make the pump casing and suction tube filled with water and then starts the motor, which make the water and the pump shaft to rotation at the high speed. The water flow to the impeller outer edge and the volute pump shell by the action of centrifugal force. Because the vacuum is formed by the action of centrifugal force in the water pump impeller center place, the water in the suction tank is pressed into the pump casing constantly. Which achieve the goal of the water convey. The principle is shown in figure 1.
