The invention discloses a low-
noise design method of a 
centrifugal pump with low 
specific speed, and relates to an 
active control method of flow 
noise of 
turbomachinery. The design method comprises the steps that firstly, main structural dimensions of a 
centrifugal pump impeller and a 
helical pumping chamber (
volute) are obtained by the traditional low-specific-speed 
pump design method; secondly, an internal flow field of the pump is computed by a computational fluid 
mechanics method; the performance of the pump is predicted whether to meet a design requirement; an optimum 
design improvement is performed by analyzing a stationary flow field; thirdly, flow induction 
noise of the pump with low 
specific speed is predicted by a computational 
acoustics method; if a flow 
noise index is qualified, the design is accomplished; if the flow 
noise index is disqualified, subsequent steps are performed; fourthly, the 
diameter of the 
impeller basically meeting a 
performance requirement in the design is adjusted to allow a gap between the 
impeller and a 
volute tongue to be increased continuously to 20%; splitter blades are added in the middles of blades to increase the lift, control the flow situation, and ensure the efficiency; and finally, the pump subjected to the impeller improvement design is subjected to noise prediction; if the flow 
noise index is qualified, the design is accomplished; and if the flow noise index is disqualified, the beginning step is repeated. The design method shortens the research and 
development period, saves the development cost, effectively improves the design quality of the 
centrifugal pump, can simultaneously meet low-noise requirements of the lift and the efficiency, and realizes optimization of the performance of the complete centrifugal pump with low 
specific speed.
