Numerical Simulation and Analysis of the Flow Characteristics of the Roof-Attached Vortex (RAV) in a Closed Pump Sump

Unsteady numerical simulation and visual experiment are used to reveal the formation mechanism of the roof-attached vortex (RAV) on the roof of the closed sump of a pumping station. The results show that RAVs mainly occur between the pump device and the rear wall of the closed sump. In the 10th peri...
