The evolution of pump design simulation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pump design analysis has come a long way f rom the days of slide rules and draft ing tables. The next step, claims Jim Spann of Blue Ridge Numerics, is putt ing computational f lu id dynamics (CFD) and f lu id f low simulation capabilities into the hands of pump design engineers. Over the past year, upfront CFD has made its mark on the pump industry, reducing the need for expensive physical tests and cutt ing new pump development costs by an average of 65%.

متن کاملSimulation-based Vibration Sensor Placement for Centrifugal Pump Impeller Fault Detection
In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...
