For some annular-type jet pump applications, it is important to avoid formation of a recirculation zone in the mixing region. The goals of this research were to find (i) when recirculation occurs and (ii) the size and location of the resulting recirculation zone. Experiments were performed using air in a straight-walled, annular-type, ducted jet. Area ratio Aj/As varied from 0.39 to 0.89; here, A is flow area, and j and s identify the jet and secondary flows, respectively. Data showed that recirculation correlates with J, where J ≈ Pj/(Pj + Ps), and P is rate of momentum. For the area ratios studied, recirculation begins when J exceeds a value ranging from 0.89 to 0.94. This paper also presents data showing the recirculation zone boundaries and presents a discussion of jet pump design.

Annular Jet Pump

Jet pump efficiency heavily relies on the geometrical parameters of the pump design and parameter global optimization in the full variable space is still a big challenge. This paper proposed a global optimization method for annular jet pump design combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, the Kriging approximate model and experimental data. The suction angle, the flow ratio, the diffusion angle, and the area ratio are selected as the design variables for optimization. The optimal space filling design (OSF) method is used to generate sampling points from the design space of the four design variables. The optimization method solves the constrained optimization problem with a given head ratio by building the functional relationship established by the Kriging model between efficiency and design parameters, which makes the method more applicable. The design result shows that the annular jet pump efficiency is predicted well by the Kriging model; m is a key variable affecting the annular jet pump efficiency. As the area ratio m decreases, the mixing effect at the suction chamber outlet can be improved, but the frictional resistance increases.

The effect of the turning angle on the flow and performance characteristics of long S-shaped circular diffusers (length-inlet diameter ratio, L/Di = 11:4) having an area ratio of 1.9 and centre-line length of 600 mm has been established. The experiments are carried out for three S-shaped circular diffusers having angles of turn of 15°/15°, 22.5°/22.5° and 30°/30°. Velocity, static pressure and total pressure distributions at different planes along the length of the diffusers are measured using a five-hole impact probe. The turbulence intensity distribution at the same planes is also measured using a normal hot-wire probe. The static pressure recovery coefficients for 15°/15°, 22.5°/22.5° and 30°/30° diffusers are evaluated as 0.45, 0.40 and 0.35 respectively, whereas the ideal static pressure recovery coefficient is 0.72. The low performance is attributed to the generation of secondary flows due to geometrical curvature and additional losses as a result of the high surface roughness (~0.5 mm) of the diffusers. The pressure recovery coefficient of these circular test diffusers is comparatively lower than that of an S-shaped rectangular diffuser of nearly the same area ratio, even with a larger turning angle (90°/90°), i.e. 0.53. The total pressure loss coefficient for all the diffusers is nearly the same and seems to be independent of the angle of turn. The flow distribution is more uniform at the exit for the higher angle of turn diffusers.

The process of designing a propeller as a ship propulsor is an important step to produce a propeller that has the ability to achieve the desired target speed of the ship. Propeller optimization is an effort to produce a propeller design with optimal capabilities. This propeller design uses a B-series propeller where this propeller is commonly used as ship propulsor. Optimization steps to find the optimal propeller, namely: determining the objective function, determining the decision variable, and determining the constraint variable. The objective function of this optimization is to determine the Advanced-optimal (J-opt) coefficient value for the propeller. The J-opt coefficient must have a value greater than the J-Design coefficient (J-d) value and the smallest possible value (minimization function). For decision variables include picth diameter ratio (P / D) and Blade area ratio (Ae / Ao) and number of leaves (Z). While the constraint variables are: the pitch diameter ratio value of the B-series propeller (0.5≤P/D≤1.4), the blade area ratio B-series (0.3≤Ae/Ao≤1, 05) as well as the number of blade (2≤Z≤7). From the calculation results of the optimization of the B-series propeller design for the KCR 60, the optimum value is different for each blade. the propeller with the number of blade 2 (Z = 2) obtained the optimum propeller with the value of J-opt =0.77098733, Ae/Ao=0.3, P/D=1.13162337, KT = 0.165632781, 10KQ=0, 27546033 and efficiency=0.73198988.

Cfd Analyses

Incorporating the platform overlap and endwall cavity into the early stages of turbine CFD analyses is desirable from the perspective of accurately capturing the near endwall flow features. However, the overlap and cavity geometry increase the complexity of the computational domain making CFD meshes more difficult to generate and the CFD solutions more resource intensive. Thus, geometric approximations are often made to simplify the CFD analysis. This paper examines, experimentally, the secondary flows of a linear turbine cascade with three different platform overlap geometries, two of which incorporate geometric simplifications. These are then compared with the corresponding computations. Experimental measurements were collected using a seven-hole pressure probe at a plane located 40% of the axial chord downstream of the trailing edge. Steady-state computational predictions were performed using ANSYS CFX 12.0 and employed the SST transition turbulence model. The experimental results show that the presence of an upstream rim-seal creates a stronger passage vortex, relative to a flat endwall, resulting in larger integrated losses as well as higher levels of secondary kinetic energy and streamwise vorticity. Subtle differences in the strength of the passage vortex and the associated losses are observed for the simplified geometries in both the measured and predicted results. By examining the details of the cavity flow, a recirculation zone is identified which energizes the formation of the passage vortex. The effect of the recirculation zone may be attenuated or intensified by the rim-seal geometry. The paper concludes by addressing the validity and usefulness of the proposed platform overlap simplifications in design-oriented computations.

The Impact

At a very low specific speed (VLSS), pumps normally suffer from high disk friction losses. In order to solve this issue, it can be helpful to use a different centrifugal pump design, which is not often found in the pump industry: the Pitot-tube jet pump (PTJ pump). It shows superior performance at low specific speed due to a rather unconventional working principle, described in detail in this paper. The key design feature of the PTJ pump is the (fixed) pick-up tube. Its geometry has not varied over the last decades; it is referred to in this study as “initial” or “standard” design configuration. However, optimizing the pick-up tube might lead to a considerably higher performance. Therefore, a parameterized three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) model is used in this study to investigate the impact of shape deformation on pump performance with the help of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Two CFD approaches are presented and compared for this purpose: a computationally efficient approach with limited accuracy (low-fidelity method) and a more detailed, but computationally more expensive, high-fidelity approach. Using both approaches, it is possible to obtain highly efficient PTJ pumps. As a consequence, first design rules can be derived. Finally, the optimized design has been tested for various operation points, showing that the performance is favorably impacted along the complete characteristic curve.

The slurry jet pump with scouring nozzle system can be used in dredging of sites, which are difficult to access or need handling of equipments that are used for the intake of pumping stations under bridges and concrete water channels. This system is suitable for sand, silt, sludge, mud, and other organic materials. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of water and slurry jet pumps. The effects of the pump-operating conditions and geometries on its performance were investigated. The experimental rig was constructed in such a way that the driving nozzle diameter can be changed. In this study, three different diameters of driving nozzles, 10, 12.7, and 16 mm, have been used with one mixing chamber of 25.4 mm diameter (i.e. three different area ratios of R = 0.155, 0.25, and 0.4). Also, the effect of driving pressure has been investigated. The results show that increasing the area ratio decreases the maximum mass flow ratio. The results of computational fluid dynamics were found to agree well with actual values obtained from the experimental water and slurry jet pump.
