    Abstract
    Boundary layer separation and vortex formation cause unappealing deterioration of pump pressure head. The purpose of this research paper is to correlate formation of vortices with near-wall shear stresses resulting in a loss of pump pressure head. This phenomenon is observed at the centrifugal pump impeller tip at various flow rates and impeller rotational velocities through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) analysis. This research paper investigates internal flow in a shrouded centrifugal impeller that is modelled under design flow rate conditions using ANSYS Fluent as its simulation bases solving built-in Navier-Stokes equation, and �� − �� SST turbulence model under steady conditions. Numerical results revealed an increase in wall shear stresses with increasing flow rate ranging from 314.2 Pa to 595.60 Pa at increments that pulsate per flow rate. Flow characteristics, such as evolution of vortices and flow turbulence enhance wall shear stresses increasing the wall skin-friction remarkably leading towards a loss in pressure head. This paper analyzes the vortices and turbulence in flow structures with regards to their influence upon the impeller performance.
