NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF 3-D TURBULENT FLOW IN THE MULTI-INTAKES SUMP OF THE PUMP STATION

In this article, a numerical model forthree-dimensional turbulent flow in the sump of the pumpstation was presented. A reasonable boundary condition for the flow in the sump with several water intakes at different flowrates was proposed. The finite volume method was employed tosolve the governing eq...

Summary:In this article, a numerical model forthree-dimensional turbulent flow in the sump of the pumpstation was presented. A reasonable boundary condition for the flow in the sump with several water intakes at different flowrates was proposed. The finite volume method was employed tosolve the governing equations with the body fitted gridgenerated by the multi-block grid technique. By using theFluent software, the fluid flow in a model sump of the pumpstation was calculated. Compared with the experimental result,the numerical result of the example is fairly good.
