混流泵加速流工况瞬态空化形态及其诱导水力振荡特性研究

Transient cavitation in mixed pumps a key problem in national defence facilities, e.g., submarine missile launching system. The investigation of transient flow field, cavitation pattern and the evolution mechanism at accelerated conditions is the basic study to find the solutions. In this project, a mixed-flow pump model will be studied, employing PANS turbulence model, time-resolved PIV and high speed photography. The main contents of the study are as follows: 1) The transient characteristics of pressure and flow rate at the inlet and outlet of the mixed pump at the accelerated conditions will be analyzed. The complex flow structures inside the mixed pump, such as tip leakage vortex, blade channel vortex and seperation flow will be revealed. The pressure field, vorticity field, shear stress, vortex dissipation and turbulent kinetic energy will be discussed. 2) The cavitation patterns in impeller and diffuser at the startup of the pump based on high speed photography and transient numerical simulation of cavitation will be observed to investigate the evolution of tip leakage vortex, tip shear stress layer as well as the circumferential cavity and the height of axial cavity, and then the internal associations between vortex structures and cavitation development will be explained. 3)In order to acquire the oscillation characteristics of the transient pressure and flow rate at different cavitation conditions and different accelerated conditions, the relations of flow rate and pressure curves with cavitation patterns at different time steps will be illustrated. The mechanism of the system oscillation cavitation induced by the transient cavitation will be revealed and the control methods will be proposed to suppress the unstable cavitation based on the law of blade loading and cavity volume distribution. The outcomes of this project will provide theoretical fundation for the design and steady operation of the mixed-pump weapon lauching system.
