Unsteady flow phenomena like rotating stall frequently occur in centrifugal pumps under off-design conditions. Rotating could lead to instabilities and pressure pulsation, which affect the normal operation of pumps. The mechanism has not been sufficiently understood previous researches. In this study, impact impeller on pump stability pulsation is numerically investigated. This paper aims detect unsteady characteristics inside by computational fluid dynamics technology, analyze pulsations...

Tip clearance is the distance required between blade tip and pump body wall of an impeller in a helicon-axial multiphase pump, which tends to induce leakage flow. The vortex formed by interaction flow with mainstream can seriously affect performance pump. To minimize adverse effects method design squealer on proposed this paper. effect external characteristics, energy dissipation analyzed. Research results indicate that effectively improve hydraulic efficiency At optimal point, head...

Unlike the reaction turbines, hydraulic performance of Pelton turbines varies due to unsteady flow rotating buckets in time and space. This study experimentally numerically investigates dynamic a turbine at five different operating conditions. The numerical simulations were performed with SST turbulence model. three-dimensional free surface sheet behavior was modeled by two-phase homogeneous model used analyze patterns torque variations as rotated. predicted unit discharge rates are compared...

After long-term operation, the material loss due to slurry erosion often leads significant changes in impeller geometry. This change can, turn, affect flow characteristics and mechanism a centrifugal pump. To investigate this matter, we consider two geometric models based on prototype stainless steel impeller, which failed huge problems from pulp slurry. These are different degree of wear, with one model at pre-erosion stage other worn blades. For both models, have been obtained Eulerian...
