The flow structure around the intake of a vertical pump is investigated experimentally and numerically in order to obtain a guideline in designing the optimum shape of the intake of vertical pumps, in which their installation area is demanded to be minimum without losing the high performance. We concentrate our attention on the expansion ratio of the intake as a representative characteristic of the shape of the pumps and investigate the effect of the expansion ratio on pump performance. It is concluded that the optimum expansion ratio ranges in 1.1-1.2 if we take into consideration that the area needed for the installation of the pump should be minimum.
