Abstract The internal characteristics during rotational speed fluctuation have an important influence on centrifugal pump to avoid or utilize its transient
performance. In this paper, a circulation piping system that includes a low-specific-speed centrifugal pump is established to study the energy
distribution characteristics in a centrifugal pump during speed fluctuation. The unsteady flow in the entire system is numerically calculated with a
user-defined function, the sliding grid method, and the RNG k-ε turbulence model. Then, the energy distribution of the transient flow field in the
centrifugal pump model during speed fluctuation is diagnosed with vortex dynamics More >
