Abstract

The deflection flow of inlet passage seriously affects the performance of axial flow pump devices, and reduces the operation efficiency and stability of pumping station systems. In this paper, the influence of different deflection angles on the internal flow characteristics and outlet pulsation characteristics of the inlet passage of the vertical axial flow pump are studied. Based on the Reynolds time-averaged N-S equation of the three-dimensional incompressible fluid and the standard k-ε turbulence model, the model axial flow pump device was numerically simulated. Under optimal working conditions ( Q bep = 31.04 L/s), the internal flow field of the axial flow pump was analyzed to study the change law of the axial flow pump performance under different deflection angles. Under the flow conditions of 0.6 Q bep , 1.0 Q bep and 1.2 Q bep , the pulsation characteristics of the outlet of inlet passage in axial flow pump at different deflection angles were analyzed. The result shows that with the increase of the deflection angle, the flow pattern of the inlet passage becomes turbulent, forming vortices of different sizes, the hydraulic loss of the inlet passage increases continuously, and the uniformity of the outlet flow velocity of the inlet passage increases first and then decreases. The time-domain waveform of outlet of the inlet passage at the pressure pulsation monitoring point has obvious periodicity, and the dominant frequency of the monitoring point is four times the rotation frequency, which corresponds to the number of impeller blades. It shows that the numerical calculation is in good agreement with the experimental results, which proves the reliability and validity of the numerical simulation calculation.
