The Unsteady Numerical Simulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of TLB600-700 Desulphurization Pump

Abstract

Based on the design theory of liquid-solid two-phase flow centrifugal pump, a new type TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was designed with huge distortions blades design method and impeller inlet super long extension blades design method. Three-dimensional model of internal flow field in TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was built by software PROE5.0, and the three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation of the internal flow field was calculated, which revealed that the rotor-stator interaction between rotating impeller and volute is the reason why unstable flow generated. Statics analysis was carried out on the impeller in the stationary flow state with the method of fluid-structure interaction, and results indicated that the impeller strength and stiffness meet the design requirements. External characteristic test results of TLB600-700 desulphurization pump showed that all parameters of desulphurization pump designed by innovative method meet design requirements; especially the pump efficiency was increased by 4.15% higher than Chinese national standard.
