The flow at the impeller exit is important to validate engineering design and numerical analysis of pumps. We installed axisymmetric collector instead of the volute casing, so there is no interaction between the impeller and casing. A hot-film probe and a high response pressure transducer are used to investigate the flow at impeller exit and vaneless diffuser region for design and off design flow rate. For a single suction centrifugal pump of low specific speed, the flow field such as velocity, flow angle, and total pressure are measured by traversing the probe across the vaneless diffuser. These data can be used for performance prediction, design, and numerical analysis of pumps.

The present experimental study is focused on the application of multi-point simultaneous measurement by PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) to guide vane region within a diffuser pump. Various different kinds of clearance were selected as experimental conditions. Optimized cross correlation identification to obtain velocity vectors was implemented with direct calculation of correlation coefficients. Fine optical setup important in PIV performance is arranged for the accurate PIV measurement of high-speed complex flow. Various flow patterns are represented quantitatively at the stator passages.

The flow at the impeller exit is important to validate engineering design and numerical analysis of pumps. However, it is not easy to measure the flow at the impeller exit and evaluate the impeller performance since there is usually strong interaction between the impeller and the volute casing. We installed axisymmetric collector instead of the volute casing, so there is no interaction between the impeller and casing. A 3-hole Cobra probe is used to investigate the flow at impeller exit and vaneless diffuser region for design and on design flow rate. For a single suction centrifugal pump of low specific speed, the flow field such as velocity, flow angle, and total pressure are measured by traversing the probe across the vaneless diffuser. These data can be used for performance prediction, desist and numerical analysis of pumps.

본 연구에서는 복합화력 화력 발전소용 고압 다단펌프의 레이디얼 디퓨저 형상에 따른 펌프의 성능(양정, 효율)변화를 수치 해석적으로 분석하였다. 레이디얼 디퓨저 설계 변수는 크게 디퓨저 베인수, 디퓨저 외경비($D_4/D_3$), 리턴채널 출구각도(${\alpha}_6$), 압력회복계수($C_p$) 등으로 선정하였다. 수치해석 결과 디퓨저 외경비가 큰 경우 양정 및 효율이 가장 크게 예측되었으며, 리턴채널의 출구각도(${\alpha}_6$)가 60도인 경우 디퓨저 출구에서의 Pre-Swirl로 인해 출구각도가 90도인 것에 비해 양정이 저하되는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 개방형 축열시스템에 설치되는 다양한 형상을 가진 디퓨저의 유량 분배 특성을 수치해석 하였다. 작동유체가 분기배관의 양 방향으로 나뉘어져 있는 구멍들을 통하여 균등하게 분배되도록 4가지 형상의 디퓨저를 설계하였다. 상용 해석 프로그램인 ANSYS-FLUENT을 사용하여 비압축성 유체의 3차원 정상 층류 유동으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 한 방향 또는 양 방향으로 분배되는 디퓨저는 유량이 일정하게 분배되지 않는 반면에 양 방향 헤더 형식과 H형 대칭구조의 디퓨저는 균등한 분배 특성을 보였다. 한편, H형 대칭구조의 디퓨저는 양 방향 헤더 형식 디퓨저보다 높은 펌프 양정을 필요로 하므로 유량분배도 일정하고 펌프 양정도 낮은 양 방향 헤더 형식 디퓨저가 최적임을 확인하였다.

Discharge flows from a centrifugal pump impeller with a specific speed of 150 [rpm, m$^3$/min, m] were experimentally investigated. A large axisymmetric collector instead of a volute casing was installed to obtain circumferentially uniform flow, i.e. without interaction of the impeller and the volute. The unsteady flow was measured at the impeller exit and vaneless diffuser using a hot film probe and a pressure transducer. The flow at impeller exit showed pronounced jet-wake flow patterns. The wake, which was on the suction/hub side at high flow rate, became enlarged pitchwisely on both the hub and the shroud side as the flow rate decreases. The pitchwise non-uniformity of the flow rapidly decreased along the downstream and the non-uniformity almost disappeared at radius ratio of 1.18 for medium flow rate. The mean vaneless diffuser flow was reasonably predicted using a one dimensional analysis when an empirical constant was used to specify the skin friction coefficient. The data can be used for a centrifugal pump impeller design and validation of CFD codes and flow modeling.

The flow characteristics have been numerically investigated for various shapes of the diffuser/nozzles which are used for a valveless micro-pump. The important parameters considered in this study are the throat width ($15\~120\mu$m), the taper angle ($3.15\~25.2^{\circ}$), and the diffuser length ( $600\~4,800\mu$m), and the size of the middle chamber ($1\~16mm^2$). To find the optimal values for these parameters, steady state calculations have been performed assuming the constant pressure difference between the inlet and exit of the flow For the taper angle and the throat width, it is found that there exists an optimum at which the net flow rate is the greatest. The optimal taper angle is in the range of $10\~20^{\circ}$ for all the pressure differences; and the throat width indicates an optimal value near $75\mu$m for the case of 35 kPa pressure difference. The net flow rate is also influenced by the size of the middle chamber. With decreasing chamber size, the net flow rate is reduced because of the interference between two streams flowing into the middle chamber. The unsteady pulsating flow characteristics for a micro-pump with a given diffuser/nozzle shape have been also investigated to show the validity of the steady state parametric study.

A ejector system is one of the fluid machinery, which has been mainly used as an exhaust pump or a vacuum pump. The ejector system has often been pointed out to have only a limited efficiency because it is driven by pure shear action and the mixing action between primary and secondary streams. In the present work, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of the geometry and the mass flow ratio of supersonic ejector-diffuser systems on their mixing performance. A fully implicit finite volume scheme was applied to solve the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations, and the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was used to close the governing equations. The flow fields of the supersonic ejector-diffuser systems were investigated by changing the ejector throat area ratio and the mass flow ratio. The existence of the second throat strongly affected the shock wave structure inside the mixing tube as well as the spreading of the under-expanded jet discharging from the primary nozzle, and served to enhance the mixing performance.
