Computational fluid dynamics and experimental study of inter-stage seal clearance on submersible well pump

In this article, a typical submersible well pump was investigated to study the effects of inter-stage leakage on the inner flow field and external characteristics. The whole flow field of the model pump with different seal clearances was simulated by computational fluid dynamics software. The inter-...
