Detailed three-dimensional velocity distributions, corresponding to design and off-design operation, were measured in two differnt circumferential cross sections of a volute by means of LDV. It is shown that the swirl has a foreced vortex type velocity distribution and that the location of the swirl center changes with mass flow. The throughflow velocity distribution is primarily defined by the conservation of angular momentum. A strong interaction between the throughflow and swirl velocity is observed. Flow visualization in the tongue region reveals a reversal of the velocity at the volute inlet with increasing mass flow
