The jet expansion, the velocity distribution and the energy are considered to analyze the time-averaged evolution of the flow field in the AJP. The transient flow characteristics can also be acquired from the analysis of the turbulence intensity and the Reynolds stress. The simulation demonstrates that in the time-averaged characteristics, the potential cores increase linearly with the increase of the flow ratio. With the flow development, the jet half-width gradually increases and the residual energy coefficient decreases. Compared with the distribution of the time-averaged axial velocity, that of the instantaneous velocity is more complex and disorderly. The high intensity of the axial turbulence mainly occurs in the mixing layer and the near-wall regions of the diffuser. The annular distribution of the Reynolds stress is mainly in the mixing layer and the recirculation region. There is a low-stress zone between the mixing layer and the high-stress region in the wall-boundary layer. The intensity of the spanwise vortexes is larger than that of the streamwise vortexes, and therefore, the former make greater contribution to the total vorticity. This research provides a better understanding of the flow characteristics in the AJP.展开更多
文摘为研究旋壳转速对腔内液体流动特性的影响,以试验旋喷泵为研究对象,在高度验证叶轮与旋壳同步旋转试验与模拟结果准确性的基础上,对叶轮转速相同、旋壳转速不同的5个模型采用RNG k-ε湍流模型进行数值计算,分析腔内液体流动特性的变化情况,研究泵的性能.结果表明:旋壳转速增大,液体圆周速度和旋转系数均增大,圆周速度曲线沿径向逐渐形成同心圆,腔内液体做非刚性旋转.腔内液体径向压力梯度增大,压力低于624 kPa时,旋壳转速越高,压力越小;压力高于624 kPa时,旋壳转速越高,压力越大.集流管迎流区涡分布在进口附近,尾迹区涡集中在扩散段结尾处,整体呈增大趋势.旋壳转速增大,泵的扬程升高,但效率降低,通过改变集流管进口直径发现集流管并非效率降低的主要原因,而是由圆盘摩擦损失的增大导致的,圆盘摩擦损失随旋壳转速增加呈3次幂函数式增大,文中最优进口直径为13 mm.
