Research on transient dynamic characteristics of three-stage axial-flow multi-phase pumps influenced by gas volume fractions

The flow inside axial-flow type multi-phase pumps is unstable at the conditions of high-speed and high gas volume fractions. The transient dynamic characteristics induced by the unstable flow will lead to pump vibration. Using the standard k–ε turbulence model, the standard wall equation, and the st...
