Reduction of Entrained Vortices in Submersible Pump Suction Lines Using Numerical Simulations

Pump intake structure design is one area where physical models still remain as the only acceptable method that can provide reliable engineering results. Ensuring the amount of turbulence, entrained air vortices, and swirl are kept within acceptable limits requires site-specific, expensive, and time-...
