Disk friction loss is remarkably significant in low specific speed centrifugal pumps, originating from the complex flow interference within the rotor-stator cavity. To reveal the hydrodynamic mechanism and energy dissipation characteristics of this loss, this study investigates the flow in the rotor-stator cavity under...

Pressure pulsation of pump-turbines under part-load operation exhibits pronounced multi-scale and strongly coupled characteristics, which are closely related to the hydraulic stability and vibration safety of pumped storage units. In this study, the part-load operation of a pump-turbine under turbine-mode conditions is...

Unsteady cavitation affects the hydraulic performance and reliability of mechanical engineering components such as hydrofoils, pumps, and turbines. Its numerical prediction remains challenging because standard one-fluid RANS simulations may overpredict eddy viscosity in the vapor–liquid transition region and suppress...

Pumps are critical mechanical devices in water conservancy and agricultural systems, yet cavitation remains a major issue affecting their operational safety and efficiency. To investigate the acoustic pressure response characteristics under cavitating conditions in a large vaned-voluted centrifugal pump, a model-scal...

To improve the energy conversion performance and long-term structural stability of stay vane mixed-flow chemical pumps used for industrial residual pressure recovery, this paper establishes a coupled numerical framework of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element structural analysis (FEA). The internal flo...
