Flow Passage Modification and Experimental Verification of a Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump

Abstract:

In this paper the seat vibration acceleration response was reduced through flow passage modification of the centrifugal pump which could decrease the fluid excitation of the pump. CFD simulation technology was applied to optimize the fluid field of the multi-stage centrifugal pump, and then the velocity, pressure fluctuation and fluid excitation were concerned to investigate the effect of optimization. Finally, the influence of fluid field modification on the seat vibration response was verified experimentally.
