Centrifugal Pump Inducer Design

[RezaFarrokhi]

Hello Dear friends,

I want to draw an inducer that is placed in the inlet of a high-speed centrifugal pump using the geometric parameters that I obtained from an experimental work of the century paper.
I want to do this using CAD softwares such as Solidworks or CATIA.

But, I don't know how to apply parameters like Solidity, Inlet Blade Angle, Outlet Blade Angle, Diffusion factor mentioned in the article to drawing this geometry.

I would be grateful if you could guide me.

I have attached a table of specifications and an overview of the geometry to be obtained.

Best Regards,
Reza

"Solidity" refers to blade density/spacing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_solidity

For blade angle changes you're likely going to need to freehand one blade to fill in the unknown transitions and do a 3x cicular pattern of the feature. A canned extrusion feature for a helix won't give you the ability to vary the angle, profile, etc. along the blade's path.

We used Catia, but our inducers were simply hand sculpted from a few basic parameters.
