SIDE CHANNEL PUMP Side Channel Pump Design: A Side Channel Pump has rotating vanes combined with a side channel that enhance the transfer of energy into the fluid via secondary vortices. Advantages: High head coefficient. Application: fluid transfer, e.g. fuel pumps. PumpLinx: Solve Flows, Pressures, Cavitation, and Loads: Discriminators: Models cavitation Accurate tip leakage Superior treatment of rotating-stationary interfaces Ease-of-use Fast turn-around Design Issues/Benefits: Vane Design Port design Side channel design Leakage reduction Reduce Cavitation effects on efficiency and pump life Reduce Pressure ripple and noise

EXAMPLE: Demonstration Side Channel Pump Demonstration of PumpLinx capability to model the pumping of fuel (JP5) with a high vapor fraction. 资料来源:工程流体网
