Internal flow differs for different structural style of high-speed pump and the hydraulic performance differs somewhat; in literature 46 only single-item numerical simulation is carried out on impeller, internal flow passage and volute, thus cannot truly reflects the overall flow c

17、n impeller and pump chamber is very small, in order to obtain better computational results, the locations of small dimensions are locally encrypted in grid division, the size of grid division should not be too big.

18、ured hybrid grid TGird is adopted to divide the entire model, this grid is mainly composed of tetrahedrons, and hexahedrons, cones and wedges at local locations, it can well process grid division of complex model; the max. division size of impeller and annular volute is 1, the number of division ele

Selection of turbulence modelDr. Basque pointed out that the flow pattern varies significantly on the wall area of high-speed partial emission pump, the flow in the flow passage of impeller can almost be deemed to be a state of rigid
20、 motion with impeller, the rotating flow in annular volute also does not have motion relative to impeller, therefore, the stress of turbulent flow acts hardly; model of low Reynolds number is selected in the analysis of high-speed pump.In ANSYS-Fluent, the Spalart-Allmaras model is proven to be very
21、 effective for building low Re-number model, especially it has shown very effect for wall restraining flow, and has more extensive application in rotary machinery; by reference to selection of turbulence model for numeric analysis of partial emission pump with specific speed in the range of 50130, t
