3-D Viscous Flow Analysis of a Mixed Flow Pump Impeller

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...

Quasi 3-D Flow Design and Characteristics of Diagonal Flow Impeller with Circular Arc Plate

Basing on the principle of virtual equivalent velocity, this paper adapt the method of extending axis flow impeller to the quasi 3-D flow design of diagonal flow impeller with the experimental cascade data of circular arc blade. The performances of diagonal flow fan with outlet guide volute designed by this method, are compared with that designed by airfoil section cascade data. The reasonablen...

Experimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids

In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...
