The Use of Steady Multi-Phase Position and Unsteady Computational Methods in the Numerical Simulation of Double-Suction Centrifugal Pump

Abstract

In order to compare the steady multi-phase and unsteady calculation in double-suction centrifugal pump application, this article simulates the internal turbulent flow of the 150S-50 double suction centrifugal pump. Numerical simulation uses realizable turbulence model, simulating with two methods of steady multi-phase and unsteady in 7 cases. Based on the numerical simulation, the head, shaft power, efficiency were calculated, the simulated performance curves of a double suction centrifugal pump is processed. The results show that: The results of unsteady simulation are closer with the experimental data.
