Regarding a type of double suction pump as the research object, analyses the effect of the geometry parameter of half-spiral suction chamber on the unstable flow field’s pressure pulsation in a centrifugal pump. On the basis of ensuring the same that the basic geometric parameters of suction chamber, designed two kinds of calculation scheme by changing the shape of cross section and the position of tongue. The full port unsteady numerical calculation were performed for the double suction centrifugal pump of different design scheme,based on the Navier-Stokes equation and the standard two-equation turbulent model of ,using the body-fitted coordinates,unstructured-tetrahedron grid and SIMPLEC algorithm,which obtained the pressure pulsation characteristics of the monitoring points in centrifugal pump and analysed. The calculation results indicates, with the change of the suction chamber section shape and tongue location with horizontal line from 90o to 45o, the curves of pressure changes that the suction chamber monitoring points in scheme Ⅱ tend to be uniform and smooth; in the pressurized-water chamber, affected mainly by the rotor-stator interaction of impeller and tongue,the pressure fluctuation of two schemes are the same almost in the tongue, while the uniformity of the monitoring points’ pressure change of the scheme Ⅱis better than the scheme Ⅰ,which improved the stability of unit operation, and provides a theoretical reference and practical application for further studying the design of the double suction centrifugal pump suction chamber .
