The invention discloses a chute for improving the performance of a
saddle area of an
axial flow pump and a design method and belongs to the field of fluid machinery. The inclined groove is formed in the inner wall of the axial-flow pump water inlet
pipe which is installed at the
front edge of the axial-flow pump body. The inclined groove and the axis of the
axial flow pump water inlet
pipe form a preset angle. The skewed slot is obliquely formed in the blade profile direction of the
impeller, the two ends of the skewed slot are communicated with the two sides of a water inlet
pipe of the
axial flow pump respectively, and fluid at the inlet rim is rectified. The skewed slots are
quadrilateral grooves, the depths of the grooves are the same, and the bottom surfaces of the grooves are on the same
conical surface; a protrusion is formed between every two grooves, and the surfaces of the protrusions are located on the same
conical surface. According to the design method for the inhibition chute in the
saddle area of the axial flow pump, the size of the chute and the size of the axial flow pump are subjected to multi-scale
coupling by establishing a new dimensionless number NOG, the size parameters of the chute can be efficiently, rapidly, accurately and reliably determined, and the design method is suitable for the design of the inhibition chute in the
saddle area of the axial flow pump. The small-flow performance of the axial flow pump is improved to the maximum extent, and the design efficiency is affected to the minimum extent.
