In order to obtain reliable and consistent numerical results, some numerical considerations and modeling methodology were demonstrated and researched, and a check of the time and space resolution were also conducted. Hence the predicted cavitation performance of the two centrifugal pumps were investigated and compared with experimental results, and they were in qualitative agreement. It was confirmed that the new gap structure impeller has a very good characteristic of inhibiting cavitation, especially in large flow area, the present numerical method can effectively capture the major internal flow features in the centrifugal pump, through the comparison of the two type impeller flow fields, the cavitation suppression mechanism of the gap impeller may be the combination effects of the small vice blade＇s guiding flow and gap tunnel＇s auto-balancing of pressure.展开更多

First, the profile of vice blade at leading edge and relative position of main blade need to be parameterized. In addition, the influence of these parameters on the performance of a centrifugal pump should be studied. After the above-mentioned work is done, a centrifugal pump with good performance can be designed. On the basis of previous research results, the geometric parameters of twisted blades are determined and the centrifugal pump impellers are designed and manufactured. Through performance tests and cavitation tests, it is verified that the twisted vice blades on centrifugal pumps are effective and practical.展开更多
