The strong noise generated during the operation of the centrifugal pump harms the pump group and people. In order to decrease the noise of the centrifugal pump, a specific speed of 117.3 of the centrifugal pump is chosen as a research object. The bionic modification of centrifugal pump blades is carried out to explore the influence of different bionic structures on the noise reduction performance of centrifugal pumps. The internal flow field and internal sound field of bionic blades are studied by numerical calculation and test methods. The test is carried out on a closed pump test platform which includes external characteristics and a flow noise test system. The effects of two different bionic structures on the external characteristics, acoustic amplitude–frequency characteristics and flow field structure of a centrifugal pump, are analyzed. The results show that the pit structure has little influence on the external characteristic parameters, while the sawtooth structure has a relatively great influence. The noise reduction effect of the pit structure is aimed at the wide-band noise, while the sawtooth structure is aimed at the discrete noise of the blade-passing frequency (BPF) and its frequency doubling. The noise reduction ability of the sawtooth structure is not suitable for high-frequency bands.

The backflow vortexes at the suction connection in high-speed centrifugal pumps have negative effect on the flow field. Setting an orifice plate in front of the inducer is able to decrease the negative effect caused by backflow vortexes. The traditional plate is able to partially control the backflow vortexes, but a small part of the vortex is still in the inlet and the inducer. Four new types of orifice plates were created, and the control effects on backflow vortexes were analyzed. The ANSYS-CFX software was used to numerically simulate a high-speed centrifugal pump. The variations of streamline and velocity vectors at the suction connection were analyzed. Meanwhile, the effects of these plates on the impeller pressure and the internal flow field of the inducer were analyzed. Numerically, simulation and experimental data analysis methods were used to compare the head and efficiency of the high-speed pumps. The results show that the C-type orifice plate can improve the backflow vortex, reduce the low-pressure area, and improve the hydraulic performance of the high-speed pump.

Adopting concentric canister launchers (CCL), high temperature and high pressure environment of CCL is unfavorable for the missile launch. In addition to the gap between internal canister and external canister, injecting water for cooling are the main factor of impact the canister flow field, CCL’s rough wall is also a very important influence factor. In this paper, under the two working conditions of rough wall and smooth wall, use dynamic layering manner of moving mesh update method to simulate concentric canister missile launch process. The results reveal that rough wall has a great influence for pressure of concentric canister internal flow field, but the least influence for temperature. In practical engineering applications, need smooth surface material for smooth flow field exhaust when manufacturing concentric cylinder, but the non-concentric canister manufacturing of missile cold-launch canister, retain the rough wall can increase the pressure of the missile launch, this is conducive to missile launch, and also saves manufacturing costs, reduces processing procedures.

Centrifugal pumps as turbine (PAT) are widely used in petrochemical and water conservancy industries. The research on the internal flow field and energy loss of PAT is of great significance to improve the performance and efficiency of PAT. In this paper, experimental and numerical simulation methods are used to study the energy loss and flow field. The results show that the numerical simulation method can accurately simulate the internal flow field of PAT. And the entropy generation theory is applied to visualize the internal energy loss of PAT through the comparison of total pressure loss and entropy generation. The highest energy loss among PAT components is the guide vane. The loss in the guide vane is mainly caused by the flow separation caused by the wake of the guide vane and the asymmetric structure of the volute. The losses in the impeller are mainly due to flow separation and wake. Besides, the unsteady simulation results show that rotor-stator interaction has a great influence on the gap between the impeller and the guide vane. The research results provide a reference for the design of the PAT. This study is beneficial to studying the dynamic and static interference and PAT vibration to improve the stability of the PAT.

Research on engine icing is a hot topic among the world. Different from the aircraft wing or airframe icing, the evaporation phenomenon in the internal flow field has a great influence on the engine icing. Moreover, the thermodynamic coupling between droplets and flow field is not available in current particle trajectory calculations, or only for one-dimensional situation. Therefore, a three-dimensional droplet trajectory calculation model based on Eulerian method is used to demonstrate the thermodynamic coupling between droplets and flow field. The model was verified by NRC small engine icing wind tunnel test data and the flow field evolution is obtained which cannot be obtained by the one-dimensional coupling model. In the meanwhile, the effects of different initial LWC, relative humidity and MVD on the internal flow evaporation were studied, and the trends of droplets and flow field affected by evaporation were obtained. The numerical method in this paper can provide guidance for the subsequent research on engine icing.

The air-jet loom is widely used in the textile industry and the main nozzle is one of its key components. In this paper, the influence of some parameters, including the input air pressure and the structure of nozzle core and its internal diameter, on the internal flow field of the main nozzle is analyzed. Then the optimized structure of the main nozzle is proposed from the perspective of fluid dynamics. In the present simulations, the realizable [Formula: see text] model is applied to model the internal flow field of the main nozzle. The results show that the velocity in the annular throat reaches supersonic. Moreover, the pressure at the end of the nozzle core is the lowest in the main nozzle. It is also shown that the input air pressure has little effect on the axis velocity in Zone B, but on the other hand, has a great influence on the near-wall velocity field and the axis velocity in Zone C. In addition, an optimized structure of the nozzle core is proposed in this paper. It is found that with the proposed structure, the velocity boundary layer near the wall of Zone B in the accelerating tube can be well improved, and rapid diffusion of airflow in this area can be avoided. These help increase the moving speed of the weft yarn. Last but not least, we also show that decreasing of the internal diameter of the nozzle core improves the axis velocity of the weft accelerating tube. However, it brings a stronger turbulence at the same time.

This paper takes centrifugal fan as the research object and establishes five impeller models with different blade outlet angles. By means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the external characteristics of the centrifugal fan and the internal characteristics, including the velocity, pressure, and turbulent energy distribution, at the middle span plane of the impeller or fan were obtained and compared. In addition, the pressure fluctuations surrounding the impeller outlet were also analyzed. The results showed that the change of the blade outlet angle of the centrifugal fan had a great influence on the performance; the total pressure and efficiency of the fan were the highest when the outlet angle of the blade was increased to 29.5° under the design flow rate; and the influence of the outlet angle on the fan performance was different in off-design conditions. On the other hand, at different flow rates, the change of the internal flow field with the increase of the outlet angle was different. For the pressure fluctuation of the fan, by increasing the blade outlet angle properly under high flow conditions, the fluctuation amplitude of the fan at the blade frequency and its frequency multiplication could be reduced, which is conducive to decreasing the impeller noise. The research results have good guiding significance regarding the design of the pneumatic performance and noise reduction performance of centrifugal fans.
