Numerical and Experimental Investigations of Vortex Flows and Vortex Suppression Schemes in the Intake Passage of Pumping System

The three-dimensional turbulent flow in a vertical axial-flow pumping system with cube-type intake passage was simulated based on Navier-Stokes solver embedded with RNG k -∊ turbulence model. The internal flow pattern of the cube-type intake passage and the vorticity distribution around the bell-mou...
