Abstract
Stall, a complex flow phenomenon in centrifugal pump, plays a crucial role in pump safety and stability under part-load conditions. In this paper, a verified numerical simulation method is employed to analyze the three-dimensional flow field under the stall inception conditions. The results reveal the initial stall vortex occurs near the Q=0.7Qd condition in the prototype impeller. Based on stall formation mechanism, the high-velocity fluid near the blade pressure side is sucked into suction side of next impeller channel by setting a groove near the blade leading edge. This jet flow can prevent the narrow vortices near the impeller shroud from moving towards the blade suction side, thereby suppressing the formation of stall vortex. By comparing the effects of different groove locations, directions, and sizes on stall vortex control, the optimal groove width is determined to be approximately 1mm. Compared with the prototype impeller, the grooved impeller can completely eliminate the stall vortex and significantly reduce pressure pulsation under part-load conditions. Moreover, the head of grooved impeller is increased by nearly 15% under Q=0.6Qd condition, and the potential suppression mechanism
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
