The flow of viscoelastic fluid in the gap between the impeller disc and the pump wall for laminar flow mode is considered. Waste water sludge (WWS) was used as a working fluid. Its flow is described by viscoplastic fluid model. The results of theoretical and experimental studies of disk friction at WWS are presented and formulas are proposed for calculation of disk friction power between wheel disks and pump body.
