| Summary: | The subject of this work is the flow inside an axial pump impeller, which is studied both
numerically and experimentally.
The aim of the work is to provide a numerical method to predict the three-dimensional
flow field within an axial flow pump impeller.
The numerical scheme is divided into three basic parts.
The first part involves the matrix through flow method to
obtain the mainstream flow profiles on various blade-to-blade
stream surfaces distributed from hub to tip and for given
boundary conditions. In addition these solutions w
to obtain a detailed flow field in the region of the leading edge.
Furthermore, the transport equations of vorticity are
integrated along each streamline to obtain the normal and
stream wise components of vorticity. |
