Abstract:

In an effort to design a rectangular-box chamber for model testing and flow visualization, to be fitted into an existing horizontal axial-flow pump circuit, shown in Fig.1[1], a computational study has been conducted into the flow of water as it expands from a 400-mm-diameter round pipe into a 3-Drectangular- box configuration. The geometry is asymmetric; the chamber's bottom is aligned with the pipe's bottom, but the pipe's top is expanded into the chamber's top, shown in Fig. 2. A commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package is used to simulate the isothermal turbulent flow, using the standard K-epsilon turbulence model. The study examines the benefits of the guide vane in reducing the transition region's length and producing the desirable flow pattern in the test chamber.
