The transient performance of centrifugal pumps during the startup period has drawn more and more attention in recent years due to urgent engineering needs. In order to make certain the transient startup characteristics of a high specific-speed prototype centrifugal pump delivering the gas-liquid two-phase flow, the transient flows inside the pump are numerically simulated during the startup period using the dynamic slip region method in this paper. The results show that the difference in heads mainly focuses on the later stage of the startup period when the pump is used to transmit the pure water and the gas-liquid two-phase flow, respectively. The existence of the gas phase makes the head less than that of delivering pure water. The nondimensional head coefficient is very high at the very beginning of the startup period and then quickly drops to a stable value. The continuous variation of the attack angle at the leading edges of blades is the main reason for evolution of the internal flow field during the startup period.
