In centrifugal pumps for artificial hearts, a magnetic drive with lightly loaded journal bearing system is often used. In such a system, the rigidity of the bearing is small and the impeller usually rotates over the critical speed. In such cases, the rotordynamic fluid forces play an important role for shaft vibration. In the present study, the characteristics of the rotordynamic fluid forces on the impeller were examined. The rotordynamic fluid forces were measured in the cases with/without the whirling motion. It was found that the rotordynamic forces become destabilizing in a wide range of positive whirl. The effect of leakage flow was also examined.

The 2-D vortex method and the commercially available CFD software are applied to calculate unsteady hydrodynamic forces on a diffuser pump impeller and the pressure fluctuations caused by the interaction between the impeller and the diffuser vanes. Calculated pressure and fluid forces on the impeller are compared with measured ones. The numerical analysis yields fairly accurate predictions of the fluid forces and the pressure fluctuations in diffuser passages and the pipe systems. It has been demonstrated that the fluid forces caused by the interaction between the rotor and stator vanes are small when the number of vanes on impeller and diffuser is identical. In this case, however, the local pressure fluctuations are larger in diffuser passages and the pipe systems.

Fluid forces acting on a rotating centrifugal impeller in whirling motion are studied experimentally. A two-dimensional impeller installed in a parallel walled vaneless diffuser was forced on a circular orbital motion at various positive and negative whirl speeds. The measurements show that the fluid forces exert a damping effect on the rotor at most operating conditions, but excite positive whirl when the impeller operates at a partial discharge and rotates at speeds more than twice the whirl speed. The test results were compared with those calculated by the theory described in the 1st Report. The characteristics of whirling fluid forces are examined from both the measurements and calculations. The measured fluid forces are expressed in terms of mass, damping, and stiffness matrices.
