主 题:vane island diffuser flow structure pressure recovery three-hole probe particle image velocimetry
摘 要:Experimental investigation of mean flow velocity and pressure inside the vane-island type diffuser passage of a test centrifugal pump model is presented.A directional three-hole probe was used to investigate hub-to-shroud flow properties at diffuser leading and trailing edge *** addition,the mid-section between suction and pressure sides along the diffuser passage was also *** these measurements were performed at five different flow *** flow structures at the inlet section of the diffuser and along with the passage were analyzed in detail,with a focus on the flow distribution and the pressure recovery evolution of different diffuser *** and distortion effects were analyzed by using existing published particle image velocimetry(PIV)measurements in the outer part of the impeller and around the diffuser throat in order to get a better understanding of the overall performances and local flow structures of such a diffuser *** results show that back flows occur on the shroud region from impeller exit plane up to the semi-vaneless part of the diffuser at low flow *** blockage effects combining with blade thickness geometrical blockage tend to diminish the effects of theoretical high positive *** high flow rates,negative incidence effects induce high local velocity on the pressure side of the diffuser just after the *** aerodynamic blockage associated with low flow distortions are found to have a beneficial effect on pressure recovery for low flow *** the contrary,high flow distortions are found for increased flow rates,resulting in a low pressure recovery inside the semi-vane less part of the diffuser and after the throat.
