Summary: | The tip leakage vortex structure and trajectory in an axial flow pump were
investigated numerically and experimentally based on the modified shear
stress transport k-ω turbulence model. Numerical results were compared with
the experimental leakage vortex trajectories, and a good agreement was
presented. The detailed trajectories of tip leakage vortex show that the
starting point of tip leakage vortex occurs near the leading edge at small
flow rate, and it moves from leading edge to about 30% chord length at design
flow rate. At larger flow rate condition, the starting point of tip leakage
vortex shifts to the middle of chord. |
