BR28713691 – Development of centrifugal pump design technology for various applications, including the creation of design documentation based on 3D modeling, digital twins, and 3D prototyping

Objective of the project – Develop technologies for designing cantilever and submersible pumps for various applications, along with the creation of design and engineering documentations based on hydraulic calculations of key geometric and kinematic parameters of impeller, hydrodynamic optimization of blade and impeller geometry, analytical methods for determining the strength of pump structural parts, deep machine learning and 3D prototyping.

Relevance: Currently, Kazakhstani pump manufacturers rely on foreign design organizations due to the lack of local developers, increasing production costs and reducing competitiveness. Implementing this program will allow the entire pump manufacturing cycle to take place in Kazakhstan, enhancing the competitiveness of domestic companies in foreign markets and stimulating investment and innovation. The Competence Center will contribute to increasing the technological complexity of pumps produced in Kazakhstan, improving the country’s economic complexity index.

Scientific supervisor: Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor, Kaltaev Aidarkhan

Expected and achieved results: The project will identify key design parameters influencing the efficiency and reliability of cantilever and submersible pumps and develop hydraulic calculation methods for their geometric and kinematic characteristics. Advanced hydrodynamic models and parametric studies will be conducted using ANSYS, COMSOL, high-performance computing, and machine learning to optimize pump performance and impeller design. Design methodologies and CAD/CAM-based documentation will be developed in accordance with GOST standards, along with 3D models and manufacturing-ready designs. Additionally, non-destructive testing methods and software for early defect detection will be created, and qualified specialists, including PhD and Master’s graduates, will be trained.
