Investigation on the Flow Behavior of Side Channel Pumps Based on Vortex Identification

Abstract The momentum flow exchange between the impeller and side channel produces highly turbulent flows in side channel pumps. The turbulent flows feature complex patterns of vortex structures that are partly responsible for the dissipation of energy losses and unsteady pressure pulsations. The co...
