为了研究串并联离心泵不同结构形式对泵外特性及其振动特性的影响,选取叶轮匹配螺旋型压水室和叶轮匹配导叶匹配环形压水室2种结构形式,并参考优秀水力模型采用速度系数法对2种结构形式的串并联离心泵的叶轮进行水力设计,按照标准专门搭建了外特性与振动试验台,对串并联离心泵2种结构形式下的外特性及不同监测点的机脚加速度的1/3倍频程进行数据采集、测试与分析.研究结果表明:叶轮匹配螺旋型压水室的原始结构形式的效率比叶轮匹配导叶匹配环形压水室的新型结构形式的效率要高;串并联离心泵采用叶轮匹配导叶匹配环形压水室的结构形式对于泵组的减振降噪具有良好的作用,新型结构比原始结构在全频段各个监测点振动噪声减小3~4 d B;各个监测点的振动在各个频段的变化无规律可循,监测点的振动噪声也有所变化,监测考核时应布置多个监测点进行综合评价.
The internal flow fields in a compact return diffuser under strong part-load conditions are investigated both numerically and experimentally.For numerical simulation,three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved on high-quality structured grids in conjunction with the shear stress transport k–turbulence model by employing the computational fluid dynamics(CFD)software ANSYS-Fluent 14.5.For flow field measurements,a special test rig is designed and the two-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV)measurements are conducted in the diffuser midplane to capture the complex flow field and for validation of the CFD results.The analysis of the results has been focused on the flow structure in the diffuser,especially under part-load conditions.The detailed comparison between CFD and PIV results is performed.Vortical flow and recirculation flow patterns in the diffuser are captured and analyzed.Large flow separation and backflow appear under the part-load flow conditions.This paper provides a good data set for developing as well as evaluating the accuracy of various CFD models for capturing the complex flow field in a compact return diffuser used with multistage pumps.
