Abstract

In a pump, from the performance point of view, it is very important to minimize the shock loss at the inlet of the rotor blades. In this study, the effects of shape and install angle of the inlet guide on the performance of an axial-flow pump are numerically simulated using commercial CFD code, Ansys CFX. Finally, to obtain the optimized shape of the vanes and the install angle of the vanes in the inlet guide under given operating conditions, optimization analysis is conducted using Analysis design exploration based on response surface optimization.

펌프 성능 관점에서 바라보면 회전날개의 충격손실을 최소화하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 회전날개의 충격손실에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 흡입 케이싱 내에 설치되는 안내깃의 형상 및 설치 각 변화가 축류 펌프의 성능에 미치는 효과를 수치 해석 방법을 통해 살펴보았다. 그리고 주어진 운전조건에서 흡입 케이싱 내에 설치되는 안내깃의 최적형상 및 설치 각을 최적화 기법을 사용하여 최적화하였다.
