An axial-flow pump is a type of hydraulic machine that moves fluid primarily in a direction parallel to the pump's shaft. In these pumps, the flow is typically generated by an impeller, which imparts kinetic energy to the fluid. As the impeller rotates, it creates a low-pressure area at the eye (center) of the impeller, drawing fluid in and pushing it out at high speed along the axial direction.
