Numerical analysis of internal flow characteristics and energy consumption assessment in full flow field of multi-stage centrifugal pump considering clearance flow
Abstract:In this paper, a seven-stage high pressure centrifugal pump for water injection was taken as the research object. The steady state full flow field was numerically simulated by unstructured grid and Renormalization Group (RNG) k- ε turbulence model, and the results were verified by experiment. The flow characteristics of each flow passage component in the centrifugal pump under rated flow condition were analyzed, and the influence of wear-ring clearance flow on the full flow field was studied. The entropy produ… Show more
