It provides design formulas for the bladeless cavity width, bladeless cavity inlet diameter, number of blades, blade wrap angle, blade inlet angle, and blade outlet angle. The vortex pump designed according to this method can effectively ensure the non-clogging nature of the vortex pump, achieving ideal head, efficiency, and operational stability with minimal hydraulic losses.
