Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of solid-liquid two-phase flow test in centrifugal pump, and particularly relates to an integrated solid-liquid two-phase flow centrifugal pump PIV test bench. BACKGROUND

[0002] The centrifugal pump has excellent performance and wide application range, and often needs to face the delivery of solid-liquid two-phase medium in the industrial field. Compared with single-phase flow, the interaction of two-phase medium makes the flow in the pump more complex and uncertain. The high-speed photography and PIV and other visualization test technologies are often used for research on the two-phase flow in the centrifugal pump. The existing solid-liquid two-phase flow centrifugal pump visualization test bench often adopts the form that the test pump and the circulating water tank are arranged separately, and the two are connected through the circulating pipeline to form a complete flow circulation loop, which leads to that the test bench occupies too large area and increases the test cost, and the solid particle feeding and recovery device further increases the complexity of the test device. In addition, the inlet pipeline of the existing solid-liquid two-phase flow test bench is often horizontally placed, and when the solid particle density is large, the particles will be deposited downward due to the gravity, and stratification occurs in the pipeline, which leads to that the solid-liquid two-phase medium entering the pump is not uniform, and the randomness of the test shooting is increased.
