This article presents a methodology for predicting the fluid dynamic behavior of a gear pump over its operating range. Complete pump parameterization was carried out through standard tests, and these parameters were used to create a bond graph model to simulate the behavior of the unit. This model was experimentally validated under working conditions in field tests. To carry this out, the pump was used to drive the auxiliary movements of a drilling machine, and the experimental data were compared with a simulation of the volumetric behavior under the same conditions. This paper aims to describe a method for characterizing any hydrostatic pump as a “black box” model predicting its behavior in any operating condition. The novelty of this method is based on the correspondence between the variation of the parameters and the internal changes of the unit when working in real conditions, that is, outside a test bench.

External Gear Pump

This article presents the modeling, simulation and experimental validation of the movement of the floating bearing bushing in an external gear pump. As a starting point, a complete pump parameterization was carried out through standard tests, and these parameters were used in a first bond graph model in order to simulate the gear pump behavior. This model was experimentally validated under working conditions in field tests. Then, a sophisticated bond graph model of the movement of the floating bushing was developed from the equations that define its lubrication. Finally, as a result, both models were merged by integrating the dynamics of the floating bushing bearing with the variation of the characteristic parameters (loss coefficients). Finally, the final model was experimentally validated both in laboratory and field tests by assembling the pump in a drilling machine to drive the auxiliary movements. The novelty of this article is the conception and construction of a simple and experimentally validated tool for the study of a gear pump, which relates its macroscopic behavior as a black box (defined by the loss coefficients) to the internal changes of the unit (defined by its internal lubrication).

External Gear Pump

A description is given of a computer program for investigating the performance of the external gear pumps under varying conditions with the special emphasis on the examination of pressure distributions within the pump, i.e. excitation forces for the vibration of the pump case and the variation in flow generated by the pump. Measurements are presented for the variation with time of tooth space pressure and the results are compared with the theoretical predictions from the computer program.

Abstract In a previous paper the author proposed a method to reduce the periodic variation in flow rate for an external gear pump. To verify the experimental results, a series of experimental tests on a expressly realized gear pump, was carried out. The pump was equipped with relieving grooves milled into the side plates. The tests were done on a closed piping specifically realized and equipped for measuring the instantaneous flow rate of the fluid through a wedge-shaped hot film probe.

External Gear Pump

Recently several works have been published on numerical simulation of an external gear pump (EGP). Such kinds of pumps are simple and relatively inexpensive, and are frequently used in fluid power applications, such as fluid power in aeronautical, mechanical, and civil engineering. Nevertheless, considerable effort is being undertaken to improve efficiency and reduce noise and vibration produced by the flow and pressure pulsations. Numerical simulation of an EGP is not straightforward principally for two main reasons. First, the gearing mechanism between gears makes it difficult to handle a dynamic mesh without a considerable deterioration of mesh quality. Second, the dynamic metal–metal contact simulation is important when high pressure outflow has to be reproduced. The numerical studies published so far are based on a two-dimensional (2D) approximation. The aim of the present work is to contribute to the understanding of the fluid flow inside an EGP by means of a complete three-dimensional (3D) parallel simulation on a cluster. The 3D flow is simulated in a linux cluster with a solver developed with the openfoam Toolbox. The hexahedral mesh quality is maintained by periodically replacing the mesh and interpolating the physical magnitudes fields. The meshing contact point is simulated with the viscous wall approach, using a viscosity model based on wall proximity. The results for the flow rate ripples show a similar behavior to that obtained with 2D simulations. However, the flow presents important differences inside the suction and the discharge chambers, principally in the regions of the pipes' connection. Moreover, the decompression slot below the gearing zone, which can not be simulated with a 2D approximation, enables a more realistic simulation of a contact ratio greater than 1. The results are compared with experimental measurements recently published.
