Energy Performance and Flow Patterns of a Mixed-Flow Pump with Different Tip Clearance Sizes
Tip clearance between blade end and shroud is inevitable in pump operation and of great importance on pump energy performance and pressure fluctuation. As the tip clearance size increases, the head and efficiency of the mixed flow pump drop accordingly. The simulation results show that the developme...
