چکیده
To study the effect of sediment on cavitation in axial-flow pump, method CFD is employed to experiment internal flow field pump case clean water and sandy separately. The calculation done with different particle sizes concentrations. results show that as concentration increases, vortex range area blade will further increase, pattern impeller becomes more disordered. mechanism action size similar concentration. However, quite from value are significantly larger than water. By contrast, has little range. It proves does not have a great influence distribution, but main factor affecting performance pump. Moreover, disrupt promote development reduce

Numerical Simulation of Cavitation in Mixed Flow Pump
The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and three-dimensional behavior of the flow in a mixed flow pump and the way cavitation phenomenon is affected by different parameters such as fluid temperature, pump speed and flow rate. Computational fluid dynamic software FLUENT 6.3 was utilized to simulate the whole flow field of the pump. RNG k-ε model combined with standard wall f...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Cavitation Inception on Radial Flow Pump
Pump cavitation is the formation and subsequent collapse or implosion of vapor bubbles in a pump. It occurs when the absolute pressure on the liquid falls below the liquid’s vapor pressure. This paper describes the validation of cavitation inception on a radial flow pump which develops 21m of head at 26lps of discharge at its best efficiency point (BEP) of discharge while operating at a speed o...

In this paper, the lift-law method was applied to design the axial flow pump. Based on Reynolds time-averaged N-S equations and standard k turbulent model, three-dimensional air-water bubbly flow in an axial flow pump impeller was simulated. Under the condition of bubble void fraction of 5%, pressure and void fraction distributions were respectively obtained, movement of bubbles in the impeller...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Partial Cavitation over Axisymmetric Bodies: VOF Method vs. Potential Flow Theory
A computational study of partial cavitation over axisymmetric bodies is presented using two numerical methods. The first method is based on the VOF technique where transient 2D Navier-Stokes equations are solved along with an equation to track the cavity interface. Next, the steady boundary element method (BEM) based on potential flow theory is presented. The results of the two methods for a di...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Particle Flow in a Sand Trap
Sand traps are used to measure Aeolian flux. Since they modify the surrounding wind velocity field their gauging represents an important challenge. We use numerical simulations under the assumption of homogeneous turbulence based on FLUENT to systematically study the flow field and trapping efficiency of one of the most common devices based on a hollow cylinder with two slits. In particular, we...
