Abstract To obtain the transient characteristics of a centrifugal pump during a rapid startup process accurately, a circulating piping system, including the
pump, is established. A full three-dimensional unsteady incompressible viscous flow of a low-specific speed centrifugal pump during rapid startup is
numerically simulated using the finite volume method, RNG k-ε turbulence model, sliding grid technology, dynamic grid technology, and userdefined function. Results show that the effect of dynamic and static interference becomes remarkably evident with the increase in speed in the
starting process. The effect of dynamic and static interference makes the flow rate show More >
