This work introduces a new method of hydraulic design of a centrifugal pump impeller. This method is based on a geometrical approach employing curvilinear coordinates that are used to formulate both the axisymmetrical flow model in a meridional shape and the final model of flow in a blade cascade taking into account the full 3D shape of the impeller blade. The solution to this model then directly provides the guidelines for shaping the impeller blade in order to suppress the secondary flows, thus increasing the impeller efficiency, which is demonstrated on a real impeller design case. The partial differential equations describing the flow in the blade cascade are numerically solved piecewise on each particular stream surface, which leads to a significant reduction of computational time.
