Abstract In this paper, based on the Mixture model, the numerical computations of the internal flow field in a sewage pump are carried out. Through numerical simulation, the turbulence flow characteristics in the sewage pump are obtained. Results show that when the particle diameter is 0.10 mm, the solid-phase concentration on the volute surface is high, and the wear is more severe. When the particle diameters are 0.15 mm and 0.20 mm, the solid-phase concentration on the volute surface is significantly higher, especially when the over-current cross-section enlarges constantly.

Abstract In this research, the dynamics of wet spray nozzles with different geometries, used to accelerate shotcrete, are investigated on the basis of a suitable three-dimensional mathematical model and related numerical method. Simulations have been conducted in the frame of the SIMPLEC algorithm. The k-ε turbulence model has been used to account for turbulent effects. The study shows that when the angle of the convergent section is less than 3°, it has a scarce effect on the dynamics of the jet of shotcrete; with the increase of the convergence angle, the shotcrete jet velocity decreases and More >
