Selection of these virtual physics based tool is again a complex process based on the number of codes availability in the market. It is necessary to select the tool, which can accommodate the complete real world different physics in an integrated manner with easy graphical interface process.

Right selection of these physics based tool is essential for the full life cycle design for any pump. So the obvious question that arises is how to make the correct tool decision or what should be the new methodology for designers to follow. Following are the proposed guidelines for making correct tool decisions:

• Easy GUI interface: It becomes obvious for the right tool to have a shorter learning curve and this is mainly driven by an easy user interface. Majority of this can be driven from what is called a template based design tool to perform 3D blade geometry design, meshing, physics setup and post processing.

• Integrated advanced physics technologies: Ability to capture the important design features require advance physics support in the selected tool. Thus, the tools should have some advance turbulence modeling, various types of erosion modeling, particle tracking, material modeling, and composite modeling capabilities.
