Numerical simulation on geometrical parameters for closed sump

[摘要] The closed sump is a typical inlet passage of middle and small pumping station. It has the characteristics of low channel height, small foundation excavation depth, simple structure, a single cross sectional shape changes, ease of construction and other features, so more and more attention and application has been paying on this closed sump in pumping station project. However the flowing pattern within the closed sump is complex, the design is not perfect in some respects, the structure size does not be optimized. Based on the background for renewal and transformation of a pumping station, according to the three-dimensional incompressible fluid Reynolds-averaged N-S equations, the RNG k-e model, the CFD technology. The study on the draught in closed sump might reduce the length of pump shaft to enhance the stability of the pump unit operation. The results reveal the effect of the change of the height of plate. The turbulence in back wall might cause vortex when the height is high. The height of plate had be recommended control in 0.65D-0.85D.The better parameter combination of geometry of closed sump had be given through comparing the results of the orthogonal test and the comprehensive test. The floor clearance should be control in 1.0D. (D is the diameter of flared pipe).
