1 不同断面型式蜗壳对离心泵性能影响的数值研究 郭鹏程，罗兴 ，周鹏，郑小波 锜 （西安理工大学水利水电学院，陕西西安 710048 ） 摘要：根据离心泵蜗壳的设计原理，在原离心泵马蹄形断面蜗壳的基础上重新设计了圆形断面和矩形断面两种蜗 壳，并分别将三种不同断面的蜗壳与同一叶轮组合进行了三维数值计算。计算结果表明，不同型式断面的蜗壳对 离心泵性能有一定的影响，矩形和圆形蜗壳在大流量工况区的效率比马蹄形蜗壳有略微的提高，在设计点，矩形 蜗壳的效率比马蹄形的略低，但大流量工况却高；在小流量工况圆形蜗壳的扬程比马蹄形蜗壳的扬程低，而矩形 蜗壳和马蹄形蜗壳相差不大，在设计点矩形蜗壳和马蹄形蜗壳略高于圆形蜗壳，在大流量工况马蹄形蜗壳的扬程 有所降低。不同的断面型式对蜗壳的水力损失也有一定的影响，而且随着流量的变化损失也在变化。矩形蜗壳壁 面上的压力脉动的幅值在设计工况和大流量工况较马蹄形蜗壳和圆形蜗壳要小一些。 关键词：离心泵；蜗壳；断面型式；数值研究 Numerical Investigation of Influence of the Volute with Different Sections on the Performance of Centrifugal Pump GUO Pengcheng, LUO Xingqi, ZHOU Peng, ZHENG Xiaobo (School of Water Resources and Hydroelectric Engineering, Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an 710048) Abstract: In this paper a low specific speed single-stage centrifugal pump with three different volutes was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A CFX-11 commercial code, based on shear stress transport (SST) turbulent model with automatic near wall treatments, was employed for turbulent flow calculation. For the volute geometry, the cross-section of the original volute was a horseshoe section. Next two new volutes with a fully circular and rectangular cross-section were designed respectively. The numerical results obtained showed that the differences observed in the performance of the different volutes were quite small. In high flows operating regime the efficiency of the pump with the circular and rectangular volutes was higher appreciably than with the original volute, but at the best efficiency point it was a little lower than the one with the original volute.
