Abstract
Centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine that is used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy of impeller into the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The double-suction centrifugal pump are used for conveyance of a large quantity of water and have wide application due to its stable running, for the balance of axial thrust through by the double suction in impeller, and for a convenient maintenance. Because the design of the centrifugal pump impeller is not a universally standardized one and depends on designer's experience and its technical intuition, in this paper is presented a methodology of design and the fluid flow simulation throughout impeller.

Summary
A pump is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. A centrifugal pump with double suction is presented in the Figure 2. In the volute of the pump fluid enters axially through the eye of the impeller (low pressure area) which rotates at high speed. As the impeller and blades rotate, they transfer momentum to incoming fluid. This study is structured on 5 sections and presents a methology of design and a computational fluid dynamics simulation for an impeller with double suction.
