Optimization of Ansys CFX Input Parameters for Numerical Modeling of Pump Performance in Turbine Operation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper deals with the issue of determining the optimal setting of input variables in Ansys CFX for modeling pump flow in turbine operation (PAT). The pump model was created in Autodesk Inventor. The mesh for numerical simulations was created using Ansys Fluent Meshing, considering the mesh quality parameters' skewness and aspect ratio. The Ansys CFX computational model was experimentally verified on an actual pump by measuring the performance parameters on a test circuit and using the PIV (particle image velocimetry) method. The research indicated that the most suitable setting for the model input variables was the inlet pressure and PAT flow rate combination. Another option was to adjust the pressure at the pump inlet and outlet. However, the calculation time in this case was up to 30% longer. The comparison of the model results with the experiment showed that the deviations in the numerical model performance values did not exceed 10% of the values measured on the test circuit. Only the calculated torque was 1.2 +/- 0.13 Nm higher on average than the torque measured on the test circuit. This difference is most likely due to the simplification of the geometry of the computational mesh in order to reduce the computation time.
