The Application of CFD Methods to Analyse the Flow Structures in the Radial Labyrinth Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

The radial labyrinth pump consists of two discs: passive and active. Both discs are equipped in special blades with the opposite angle of milling. The passive disc is motionless and the active one rotates around the axis of the pump. On the surface of the connection of two blades belonging to different discs the circulation of fluid, as a type of energy conversion is expected. To investigate the analysed set of discs and take into consideration the impact of some structural changes of the geometry of both discs on a pump performance the numerical simulations were made. In this paper the results of CFD research of the flow in the radial labyrinth pump are presented.
