The paper refers to a numerical analysis of the flow through a centrifugal pump working at high rotational speed. This kind of a pump is characterized by a high delivery head and a low discharge. The considered pump is a one-stage centrifugal pump with a rotational speed of 12 000 rpm. This pump has been manufactured and prepared for experimental research. The main purpose of the presented research has been to determine the flow characteristic of the pump by means of CFD methods. To this end the commercial CFD code, ANSYS CFX 11, has been used. The obtained numerical results have shown high usefulness of the CFD methods for the flow machinery design process. In the next step the obtained flow characteristic will be compared with the experimental investigations.
