摘要
Abstract Multi-stage double-suction centrifugal pump is constructed to handle situations with large flow rates and high head. However, due to the complex internal flow structure, the pump can experience hydraulic excitation caused by the presence of numerous vortical structures. Such excitation can lead to unstable pump operation and increased energy losses. In this study, we aim to analyze the multi-stage double-suction centrifugal pump by combining numerical simulation using detached eddy simulation (DES) and experiments to accurately capture the vortical structure and elucidate the mechanism of the rotor-stator interaction (RSI) formation. The results indicate that the omega vortex identification method can accurately capture the vortex structure in the pump, irrespective of the threshold value and without the influence of wall shear layers. Additionally, based on this identification method, we have analyzed the unsteady evolution characteristics of the vortex structure in the pump. Specifically, we have focused on the shedding of wake vortices and their collision with the tongue. The findings suggest that the rotor-stator interaction primarily arises from the periodic shedding of wake vortices near the impeller outlet. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the flow dynamics of multi-stage turbomachines.
