Effect of Tip Clearance on Hydraulic Performance of Water-jet Pump

The k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model is adopted to study the hydrodynamic performance of the water-jet axial pump which is applied in Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). The numerical simulation of the whole passage of the water-jet pump is carried out for four different tip clearance with δ = 0.3 mm, δ = 0.8 mm, δ = 1 mm and δ = 1.4 mm. And the results, in term of external charact...

Effect of Various Nozzle Profiles on Performance of a Two Phase Flow Jet Pump

This paper reports on the results of experimental investigations on the performance of a jet pump operated under selected primary flows to optimize the related parameters. For this purpose a two-phase flow jet pump was used employing various profiles of nozzles as the primary device which was designed, fabricated and used along with the combination of mixing tube and diffuser. The profiles empl...

Experimental and CFD Simulation of the Jet Pump for Air Bubbles Formation

A jet pump is a type of pump that accelerates the flow of a secondary fluid (driven fluid) by introducing a motive fluid with high velocity into a converging-diverging nozzle. Jet pumps are also known as adductors or ejectors depending on the motivator phase. The ejector's motivator is of a gaseous nature, usually steam or air, while the educator's motivator is a liquid, usually water. Jet pump...

Les of a Free Annular Swirling Jet - Dependence of Coherent Structures on a Pilot Jet and the Level of Swirl

The paper presents large eddy simulation of unconfined swirling jets. In the first part, an unconfined annular jet is investigated for swirl numbers ranging from 0 to 1.2. The impact of the swirl on the mean flow and the precessing vortex structures in this flow is analysed. In the second part of the paper, a co-annular pilot jet is introduced near the axis. The investigations show that the add...
