Numerical investigations on effect of wear-ring clearance on performance of a submersible well pump

A typical submersible well pump was investigated in this article. The whole flow field of submersible well pump was numerically simulated by computational fluid dynamics software. The influence of clearance of wear-rings on the external characteristic and internal flow field was analyzed through com...
