The application discloses an
impeller inlet edge optimization method for improving the dead point head of a
centrifugal pump, and comprises the following steps: S1, determining a basic size of the
impeller; S2, making an axial plane projection distribution map according to the basic size; S3, determining a fluid dynamics
control equation; S4, constructing a model for calculating a fluid domain, which comprises an inlet section, the
impeller and a
volute; S5, adopting corresponding mesh division
modes for different components and locally encrypting; S6, adopting CFX-Pre
software to perform steady-state calculation, and selecting a
Shear Stress Transport turbulent flow model; S7, performing mesh independence
verification; and S8, judging whether the design requirement is met or not, and if not, modifying the blade inlet edge and repeating the relevant steps, so that the dead point head is effectively improved, the flow field distribution in the flow passage is improved, the
cavitation phenomenon is relieved, the stable operation of the
centrifugal pump under full working conditions is ensured, and a reliable research scheme reference for improving the dead point head of the
centrifugal pump is provided.
