Abstract: | This paper is a report on a joint project between academia and industry which is concerned with computation of dilute two-phase flow through a pump in turbulent condition. The flow field for the continuous phase is computed using the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations together with mixing length turbulence modeling. The dispersed phase is treated using the Lagrangian approach by tracking it's trajectory along which the information is passed. It is found that the bubbles and small solid particles flow out of the chamber (between the rotating impeller and the casing wall) with the conveying fluid. The solid particles of relatively bigger sizes accumulate at the low pressure zones near the cashing wall or the rotating shaft. |
