Abstract:To study how the leakage flow affect the vibration characteristics of rotors in centrifugal pump, the leakage flow channel was modeled and then verified by comparing numerical computing results with experimental data obtained from RFTF facility, which was established in California Institute of Technology. Rotors system was established based on finite element method and coupled with leakage flow channel model by transferring data between two domains, then response of rotors was obtained. The results show that stability and stiffness of rotor system are increased by considering the influence of leakage flow on rotors. The fluid-structure interaction approach presented here is useful to directly study influence of leakage flow channel parameters on vibration characteristics of rotors without considering fluid-induced forces and the research results can be used to enhance stability of rotors, especially those in multi-stage pumps.
