CFD analysis of submersible slurry pump with two blades

초록

We aimed to develop a non-clogging submersible slurry pump with two blades to replace the conventional vortex pump. To do this, we simulated the effect of parameters such as the blade angle ß and the blade-length angle a on pump efficiency. We used the commercial codes ANSYS CFX and BladeGen. The results showed that the best blade shape was obtained for ß = 30° and that the pump efficiency was proportional to a in the simulated range. © 2011 The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers.
