ANALYSIS OF HYDRODYNAMIC PROCESS IN THE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP USING CFD SYSTEM
In the article presents computational fluid dynamics of centrifugal pump by using ANSYS CFX. This approach is based on digitization of three dimensional incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation. The turbulence is computed using the k-ε model. Boundary layer is computed using near-wall function. Geometrical model consists of intake, impeller and vanes. Velocity and pressure fields and integral characteristic of centrifugal pump was obtained.
