This paper deals with the influence of leakage flow existing in SHF pump model on the analysis of internal flow behaviour inside the vane diffuser of the pump model performance using both experiments and calculations. PIV measurements have been performed at different hub to shroud planes inside one diffuser channel passage for a given speed of rotation and various flow rates. For each operating condition, the PIV measurements have been trigged with different angular impeller positions. The performances and the static pressure rise of the diffuser were also measured using a three-hole probe. The numerical simulations were carried out with Star CCM+ 9.06 code (RANS frozen and unsteady calculations). Some results were already presented at the XXth IAHR Symposium for three flowrates for RANS frozen and URANS calculations. In the present paper, comparisons between URANS calculations with and without leakages and experimental results are presented and discussed for these flow rates. The performances of the diffuser obtained by numerical calculations are compared to those obtained by the three-holes probe measurements. The comparisons show the influence of fluid leakages on global performances and a real improvement concerning the efficiency of the diffuser, the pump and the velocity distributions. These results show that leakage is an important parameter that has to be taken into account in order to make improved comparisons between numerical approaches and experiments in such a specific model set up.

Recently, with theraped advancement in th oceanology such an ocean-going vessel and oceanic structures, there is a need to study the cavitation erosion-corrosion control of pump impeller, the partial element of ocean machinery, for more effective operation. Especially, the cathodic protection (impressed current method & Al-sacrificial anode method) was applied to sea water, and Cu-alloy material mixed Zn & Al was used as a control method of cavitation erosion-corrosion. In this study, used the piezoelectric vibrator with 20KHz, 24.mu.m to cavity generation apparatus, and investigated the weight loss, weight loss rate, electrode potential & current density etc. under this condition. According to test result, thos describes how to indentify an influence of the cathodic protection and Al & Zn addition in material development for the control of cavitation erosion-corrosion, and those will serve as fundamental data on the cavitation erosion-corrosion control of oceanic centrifugal pump.

As the tangential flow inside the clearance of tribe elements such as bearings and seals is increased as the shaft speed increases, the system stability will be decreased due to the increment of the instability parameter. To reduce the tangential flow inside the clearance of the balance sleeve, anti-swirl injection mechanism is applied. The balance sleeve is used in resisting the axial force induced by impeller in high pressure multi-stage pump. In this paper, total three cases are experimentally investigated; original balance steeve, anti-swirl injection balance steeve with 0 axial degree and anti-swirl injection balance sleeve with 30 axial degree. Experiments are focused in the comparison of vibration level and leakage flow rate. The results clearly shows that the anti-swirl injection balance sleeve with 0 axial degree improves the vibration characteristics. However, the anti-swirl injection balance sleeve with 30 degree aggravates the vibration characteristics. In the standpoint of leakage performance, both anti-swirl injection balance sleeves show the better result than the original balance sleeve.

In this study, the fatigue properties on the cavitation damage of the flame quenched 8.8Al-bronze (8.8Al-4.5Ni-4.5Fe-Cu) as well as the current nuclear pump impeller materials (8.8Al-bronze, STS316 and SR50A) has been investigated using an ultrasonic vibratory cavitation test. For this the impact loads of cavitation bubbles generated by ultrasonic vibratory device quantitatively evaluated and simultaneously the cavitation erosion experiments have been carried out. The fatigue analysis on the cavitation damage of the materials has been made from the determined impact load distribution (e.g. impact load, bubble count) and erosion parameters (e.g. incubation period, MDPR). According to Miner's law, the determined exponents b of the F-N relation ($F^b$ N = Constant) at the incubation stage (N: the number of fracture cycle) were 5.62, 4.16, 6.25 and 8.1 for the 8.8Al-bronze, flame quenched one, STS316 and SR50A alloys. respectively. At the steady state period, the exponents b of the F-N' curve (N': the number of cycle required for $1{\mu}m$ increment of MDP) were determined as 6.32, 5, 7.14 and 7.76 for the 8.8Al-bronze, flame quenched one, STS316, and SR50A alloys, respectively.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are commonly used techniques to evaluate the flow characteristics in the development stage of blood pumps. CFD technique allows rapid change to pump parameters to optimize the pump performance without having to construct a costly prototype model. These techniques are used in the construction of a bi-ventricular assist device (BVAD) which combines the functions of LVAD and RVAD in a compact unit. The BVAD construction consists of two separate chambers with similar impellers, volutes, inlet and output sections. To achieve the required flow characteristics of an average flow rate of 5 l/min and different pressure heads (left - 100mmHg and right - 20mmHg), the impellers were set at different rotating speeds. From the CFD results, a six-blade impeller design was adopted for the development of the BVAD. It was also observed that the fluid can flow smoothly through the pump with minimum shear stress and area of stagnation which are related to haemolysis and thrombosis. Based on the compatible Reynolds number the flow through the model was calculated for the left and the right pumps. As it was not possible to have both the left and right chambers in the experimental model, the left and right pumps were tested separately.

In order to investigate the characteristics of unsteady flow in a mixed flow pump guide vane under the small flow conditions, several indicator points in a mixed flow pump guide vane was set, the three-dimensional unsteady turbulence numerical value of the mixed flow pump which is in the whole flow field will be calculated by means of the large eddy simulation (LES), sub-grid scale model and sliding mesh technology. The experimental results suggest that the large eddy simulation can estimate the positive slope characteristic of head & capacity curve. And the calculation results show that the pressure fluctuation coefficients of the middle section in guide vane inlet will decrease firstly and then increase. In guide vane outlet, the pressure fluctuation coefficients of section will be approximately axially symmetrical distribution. The pressure fluctuation minimum of section in guide vane inlet is above the middle location of the guide vane suction surface, and the pressure fluctuation minimum of section in which located the middle and outlet of guide vane. When it is under the small flow operating condition, the eddy scale of guide vane is larger, and the pressure fluctuation of the channel in guide vane being cyclical fluctuations obviously which leads to the area of eddy expanding to the whole channel from the suction side. The middle of the guide vane suction surface of the minimum amplitude pressure fluctuation to which the vortex core of eddy scale whose direction of fluid's rotation is the same to impeller in the guide vane adhere.

액체로켓엔진용 산화제펌프의 캐비테이션 시험 중 입출구 배관과 펌프 케이싱에서 계측된 고주파 신호를 분석하였다. 각각의 데이터의 RMS 값을 캐비테이션 수에 따라 표현하였다. 또한 회전수 동기 주파수와 날개 개수 성분, 캐비테이션 불안정성 주파수의 크기를 검토하였다. 입출구 배관의 압력섭동은 캐비테이션 불안정성의 영향을 받았다. 출구 배관의 신호에서는 인듀서 날개 주파수인 3x 성분이 탁월하였다. 이러한 현상은 임펠러의 날개 개수가 인듀서의 날개 개수의 배수인 것과 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. 케이싱에 부착된 가속도계에서도 캐비테이션 불안정성 주파수가 확인되었다.

액체로켓용 터보펌프의 설계과정에서 정확한 성능예측을 위해서 인듀서, 임펠러, 볼류트, 실 등의 펌프의 모든 부분을 포함한 유동해석을 수행하였다. 계산시간을 줄이기 위해서 인듀서와 임펠러는 주기조건을 사용하여 하나의 블레이드 통로만 해석하였으며, 인듀서와 임펠러, 임펠러와 볼류트 등의 상호작용은 정상적 해석법인 혼합면 기법을 사용하였다. 펌프의 모든 부분을 포함한 계산을 통하여 인듀서, 임펠러, 볼류트 등의 단독 유동해석을 통해서는 예측할 수 없는 펌프설계의 매우 중요한 부분인 축추력 등을 예측할 수 있었으며, 각 부품이 전체 성능에 미치는 영향을 자세히 파악할 수 있었다. 계산결과를 실험결과와 비교하였는데, 양정, 효율, 볼류트 외벽 압력분포 등에서 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 실험으로 검증하지는 못하였지만, 축추력, 반경방향 힘 등의 예측값도 설계요구조건을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 펌프의 전부분을 포함한 유동해석법은 터보펌프의 설계 및 성능예측에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
