| description | The characteristics of the material transported by the two-vane pump can cause the impeller to wear out, leading to a deterioration in hydraulic efficiency. Appropriately, the research goal of this paper is to consolidate the anti-wear performance of the two-vane pump conveying a solid-liquid two-phase flow. Based on the bionic principle and the anti-wear structure of blood clams, the circular non-smooth structure adapted from blood clams is arranged in the wear-prone area. Through numerical simulation, we compare the main indexes of the pump: the head, the pressure distribution, the vortex pressures, and the average wear rate, to reveal the wear resistance mechanism of circular non-smooth structures. The results illustrate that the use of a circular non-smooth structure does not modify the external characteristics of the pump; the pressure distribution inside the impeller is similarly consistent, and the vortex pressures are all approximately the same. The average wear rate is higher when the diameter of the circular non-smooth structure is either 0.25 mm or 0.30 mm, and the simulation results are poor. At a diameter of 0.20 mm, the average wear rate of circular non-smooth blades is at its lowest point. The circular non-smooth surface structure causes impurities to be “caught” by the vortex zone and not freely struck against the wall, resulting in the particles migrating away from the blade. |
