Numerical Study of the Single-Phase and Two-Phase Flow in a Centrifugal Pump

Abstract:

The paper presents the numerical investigation of a radial flow centrifugal pump with 2D curvature blade geometry. The geometry is based on the experimental equipment by Anagostopulos. Single phase (water) flow is modeled with a normal mass flow rate and rotation speed. Pressure distribution and fluid streamlines are evaluated and visualized. An extension of the model to transient flow and two-phase flow simulation has been done to see the effect of impeller rotation and gas entrainment in the centrifugal operation procedure.
