Investigation into Transient Flow in a Centrifugal Pump with Wear Ring Clearance Variation

The leakage flow paths in the sidewall gaps of centrifugal pumps are of significant importance for numbers of effects. The paper is concerned with the transient flow in the leakage flow paths with wear ring clearance variation. For this purpose, numerical simulations of the whole pump were carried o...
