Abstract

The method of virtual rotodynamic pumps is presented, a simple and practical procedure for the solution of problems of pumps connected in parallel, when the installation conditions and/or characteristics of the coupled pumps are not the same. Virtual pumps are imaginary machines without secondary suction and discharge piping. These pumps consist of the real pump supplied
by the manufacturer and all the accessories and piping up to the point of connection with the main delivery pipe. These machines are characterized by always working against the same total load when operating in parallel. The methodology is presented by means of an example of a hydraulic simulation of a pumped well field source system.
