사류펌프 내 삼차원 유동의 수치해석

초록

This paper presents three-dimensional flow analysis for a mixed-flow pump which consists of a rotor and a stator. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by finite volume approximations and solved by the commercial CFD code CFX 11.0. Structured grid system is constructed in the computational domain, which has O-type grids near the blade surfaces and H-type grids in other regions. Validation of the numerical results was performed with experimental data for head coefficients and hydraulic efficiencies at different flow coefficients. This paper shows that the pump characteristics can be predicted effectively by numerical analysis.
