    • 摘要: 根据离心泵通道的几何和流场特点,探讨了离心泵叶轮通道结构化多块网格划分中的一些处理方法。同时求解三维时均N-S方程,并采用“冻结转子法”处理叶轮与蜗壳间动静耦合流动的参数传递和相互干扰问题,对某一设计工况下离心泵内的全三维紊流场进行了计算,捕捉到了离心泵叶轮内、叶轮与蜗壳间及蜗壳内的压力分布、速度分布和旋涡的结构与演化特征等重要流动信息。结果表明,该方法能够较为准确地预测出离心泵叶轮与蜗壳间及内部的流动特性,所得结果对进行离心泵的水力设计或改型优化设计等研究具有重要的指导意义。

       

      Abstract: Structured grids are widely applied due to its lower memory consuming and its convenient grid numbering. In this paper, based on the feature of geometry and fluid field, multi-block grid technique was used to generate the complicated fluid channels mesh in the centrifugal pump, and based on Reynolds equations closed by k-ε turbulence model with general coordinates, the numerical simulation of three dimensional turbulent flow through a centrifugal pump including a impeller and a volute casing in the turns of one after another was conducted by using the pressure correction algorithm. At the same time, a frozen rotor method was set between the impeller and the volute casing to transform the coupling information of flow fields. The analyses under designed operating conditions were made. Based on the calculated results of flow fields, the flow field structures in the centrifugal pump impeller and the interaction inflow between the impeller and the volute casing were obtained. And characteristics of swirling flow and its developing process on the cross-sections of the volute casing were also gained. It can be concluded that the results are very important and available for verifying the hydraulic design or the optimization design of the centrifugal pump in the engineering design field.
