化工轴流泵的非均匀导叶布置

化工轴流泵的工作介质特性使其不便设置导轴承,导致泵转轴缩短,叶轮出口至弯管进口之间只有一段很短的垂直空间,在该空间采用常规导叶布置会恶化水力性能,而化工泵中通常不设置导叶的做法又会使叶轮出口圆周速度分量对应的能量在流道中逐渐损耗。为提高机组效率,采用计算流体力学(CFD)方法分析了均匀布置导叶时的流场特点,发现导致水力性能恶化的原因,提出非均匀导叶布置方案,并进行了数值模拟及对比。结果表明,合理的非均匀导叶布置方案能有效改善装置水力性能。     

Computational study on the performance improvement of axial-flow pump by inlet guide vanes at part loads

In order to investigate the influence of adjustable inlet guide vanes on the hydraulic performance of axial-flow pump and impeller, the axial-flow pump with different inlet guide vane adjustable angles was simulated based on the RNG k-ε turbulent model and Reynolds time-averaged equations. The multivariate non-linear regression prediction model was established about the effect of adjustable inlet guide vane on the hydraulic performance of axial-flow pump based on the numerical simulation. The performance curves of axial-flow pump with different inlet guide vane adjustable angles were obtained by calculation, showing that the performance curve shifts towards larger flow volume in case the guide vanes are turned from positive to negative angle. With the increase of inlet guide vane positive angle, the optimum operating of pump is closer to smaller operating condition, but the hydraulic efficiency of pump is lower. The larger the flow is, the larger the decreasing amplitude of pump efficiency is. With the decreases of inlet guide vane negative angle, the higher hydraulic efficiency of pump increases first then decreases. The inlet guide vane angle affects the axial velocity distribution of the blade trailing edge.

为探讨双流道泵内部的非定常流动机理,采用Fluent软件,基于滑移网格技术、 湍流模型计算了一双流道泵在不同工况下的内部流动,并将计算结果与粒子图像测速仪(Particle image velocimeter, PIV)实测结果进行比较。结果表明：计算所得双流道泵内部流场符合叶轮机械内部流动的一般规律,且与PIV实测结果总体变化趋势一致;由于双流道泵结构特殊,其进口处的流动状态与普通叶轮相差较大,出口处的流动状态与普通叶轮类似;叶轮进口处,流体基本沿流道吸力面流动,流道工作面上的相对速度很小,存在严重的脱流和旋涡;叶轮出口处,压力面和吸力面的速度趋于相等,射流—尾迹现象并不明显;由于叶轮—蜗壳动静干涉,两个叶轮流道内的静压分布有所不同;同一流道内,静压随着半径的增加而逐步增大,压力面侧静压大于吸力面侧;蜗壳流道内静压随半径增大,最大静压值在隔舌处。此项研究不仅加深了人们对双流道泵内非定常流动图画的理解,从而进一步完善双流道泵设计方法,同时也可为其他类型泵的内流研究提供借鉴。     

Numerical simulation and analysis of flow characteristics in the front chamber of a centrifugal pump

We performed numerical simulations to study the flow characteristic in a centrifugal pump based on the RANS equations and the RNG k-ε turbulent model. The flow field, including the front and back pump chambers, the impeller wear-ring, the impeller passage, the volute casing, the inlet section and outlet section was calculated to obtain accurate numerical results of fluid flow in a centrifugal pump. The flow characteristic was studied from the internal flow structure in pump chambers, the radial velocity at impeller outlet as well as the pressure inside of the pump, the circumferential velocity and the radial velocity in front pump chamber. The variation of flow parameters in internal flow versus flow rate in the centrifugal pump was analyzed. The results show that the overall performance of the pump is in good agreement with the experimental data. The simulation results show that the distribution of flow field in the front pump chamber is axial asymmetry. The energy dissipation at the impeller outlet is larger than other areas. The distribution of the circumferential velocity and that of radial velocity are similar along the axial direction in the front pump chamber, but the distribution of flow is different along the circumferential and the radial directions. It was also found that the vorticity is large at the impeller inlet compared with other areas.     

Static pressure recovery analysis in the vane island diffuser of a centrifugal pump

The overall performance of a vane-island type diffuser of a centrifugal pump model was obtained by means of directional probe traverses. These measurements were performed in an air model of a real hydraulic pump for five volume flow rates. Directional probe traverses are performed with a classical three-hole probe to cover most of the complete inlet section of the diffuser from hub to shroud and from pressure to suction side. Existing Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurement results are also used to compare probe measurement results between the inlet and outlet throats of vane island diffuser at mid-span. Some assistance from already existing unsteady calculation, including leakage effects, is used to evaluate the numerical approach capability and to correctly define the mean initial conditions at impeller’s outlet section. Pressure recovery and the measured total pressure loss levels inside this particular vane diffuser geometry are then calculated. Detailed analysis of the flow structure at the inlet section of the vane island diffuser is presented to focus on pressure evolution inside the entire diffuser section for different flow rates. The combined effects of incidence angle and blockage distributions along hub to shroud direction are found to play an important role on loss distribution in such a diffuser.

Dynamic stress of impeller blade of shaft extension tubular pump device based on bidirectional fluid-structure interaction

Current research on the stability of tubular pumps is mainly concerned with the transient hydrodynamic characteristics. However, the structural response under the influence of fluid-structure interaction hasn’t been taken fully into consideration. The instability of the structure can cause vibration and cracks, which may threaten the safety of the unit. We used bidirectional fluid-structure interaction to comprehensively analyze the dynamic stress characteristics of the impeller blades of the shaft extension tubular pump device. Furthermore, dynamic stress of impeller blade of shaft extension tubular pump device was solved under different lift conditions of 0° blade angle. Based on Reynolds-average N-S equation and SST k-ω turbulence model, numerical simulation was carried out for three-dimensional unsteady incompressible turbulent flow field of the pump device whole flow passage. Meanwhile, the finite element method was used to calculate dynamic characteristics of the blade structure. The blade dynamic stress distribution was obtained on the basis of fourth strength theory. The research results indicate that the maximum blade dynamic stress appears at the joint between root of inlet side of the blade suction surface and the axis. Considering the influence of gravity, the fluctuation of the blade dynamic stress increases initially and decreases afterwards within a rotation period. In the meantime, the dynamic stress in the middle part of inlet edge presents larger relative fluctuation amplitude. Finally, a prediction method for dynamic stress distribution of tubular pump considering fluid-structure interaction and gravity effect was proposed. This method can be used in the design stage of tubular pump to predict dynamic stress distribution of the structure under different operating conditions, improve the reliability of pump impeller and analyze the impeller fatigue life.     

基于熵产的侧流道泵流动损失特性研究

侧流道泵是一种介于容积式泵和离心泵之间的径向式叶片泵。泵内流体以螺旋轨迹方式在叶轮和侧流道中反复运动,整个运动是一种典型的全三维、高湍流强度、空间非对称的湍流流动,因此不可避免地产生较大的流动损失。利用热力学第二定律,基于熵产的流动损失分析方法对一种单级侧流道泵模型湍流流动损失进行研究,主要通过理论和数值计算求解湍流流动过程中增加的熵产,定性分析侧流道泵流动损失出现的位置及分布特点。结果表明,侧流道泵内部流动损失主要与湍流流动增加的熵产有关,而热量交换产生的熵产相对较小,在侧流道泵的损失研究中可以忽略;叶轮流道和侧流道内的湍动耗散率均远远大于直接耗散率;叶轮流道内的损失主要出现在叶轮内缘至0.4 r处,在侧流道内,流动损失主要出现在流道进口、流道中间靠近内缘部分以及出口附近。

High performance hydraulic design techniques of mixed-flow pump impeller and diffuser

In this paper, we describe a numerical study about the performance improvement of a mixed-flow pump by optimizing the design of the impeller and diffuser using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code and design-of-experiments (DOE). The design variables of impeller and diffuser in the vane plane development were defined with a fixed meridional plane. The design variables were defined by the vane plane development, which indicates the blade-angle distributions and length of the impeller and diffuser. The vane plane development was controlled using the blade-angle in a fixed meridional plane. The blade shape of the impeller and diffuser were designed using a traditional method in which the inlet and exit angles are connected smoothly. First, the impeller optimum design was performed with impeller design variables. The diffuser optimum design was performed with diffuser design variables while the optimally designed impeller shape was fixed. The importance of the impeller and diffuser design variables was analyzed using 2^k factorial designs, and the design optimization of the impeller and diffuser design variables was determined using the response surface method (RSM). The objective functions were defined as the total head (Ht) and the total efficiency (?t) at the design flow rate. The optimally designed model was verified using numerical analysis, and the numerical analysis results for both the optimum model and the reference model were compared to determine the reasons for the improved pump performance. A pump performance test was carried out for the optimum model, and its reliability was proved by a comparative analysis of the results of the numerical analysis and an experiment using the optimum model.     

轴流式水泵非定常湍流数值模拟的若干关键问题

为准确捕捉轴流式水泵不稳定流场特征,采用雷诺时均法和大涡模拟方法对轴流泵非定常湍流进行数值模拟,并就相关问题进行深入研究。研究发现,与其他湍流分析方法相比较,大涡模拟方法在轴流泵非定常流场分析中具有更高的计算精度;同时将轴流泵进水流道与泵段一起进行流场计算后,发现叶轮进口的流动是极不均匀的,靠近弯肘形流道内侧的速度明显大于其他部位,这一现象与通常假定的轴流泵进口流动是均匀的设计与分析理论有很大区别。研究还发现,为了获得轴流泵流场内不同压力脉动频率成份,脉动计算的采用样时间应不少于8个旋转周期;轴流泵内部的水压力脉动幅值在叶轮附近区域沿半径逐渐增大,而在导叶出口之后沿半径逐渐减小。
