Energy Performance and Flow Patterns of a Mixed- Flow Pump with Different Tip Clearance Sizes
Tip clearance between blade end and shroud is inevitable in pump operation and of great importance on pump energy performance and pressure fluctuation. As the tip clearance size increases, the head and efficiency of the mixed flow pump drop accordingly. The simulation results show that the development of a leakage vortex is observed as the tip clearance increases, and the trajectory of this lea...
متن کاملEnergy Performance and Radial Force of a Mixed-Flow Pump with Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Tip Clearances
The energy performance and radial force of a mixed flow pump with symmetrical and unsymmetrical tip clearance are investigated in this paper. As the tip clearance increases, the pump head and efficiency both decrease. The center of the radial force on the principal axis is located at the coordinate origin when the tip clearance is symmetrical, and moves to the third quadrant when the tip cleara...
متن کاملInfluence of Tip Clearance on Pressure Fluctuation in Low Specific Speed Mixed-Flow Pump Passage
To explore the influence of tip clearance on pressure fluctuation in a low specific speed mixed-flow pump, tip clearances δ of 0.25 mm, 0.75 mm and 1.00 mm, along with no tip clearance, were selected. The reliability of the simulation was verified by comparison with the experimental data of external characteristics and fluctuation in the guide vane passage. Through ANSYS-CFX, MATLAB code and fa...
متن کاملNumerical 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 کاملStudy of Rotor Tip-Clearance Flow Using Large-Eddy Simulation
A large-eddy simulation has been performed to study the temporal and spatial dynamics of a rotor tip-clearance flow, with the objective of determining the underlying mechanisms for low pressure fluctuations downstream of the tip-gap. Simulation results are compared with experimental measurements, and favorable agreements are observed in both qualitative and quantitative sense. Typical vortical ...
