Abstract:To study the relationship between the variable-pitch coefficient and the inducer performance, based on the hydraulic calculation method of the inducer, the formula of variable-pitch inducer were programmed by Visual Basic 6.0 software to provide three groups of parameters with different variable-pitch coefficient. The flow field of three variable-pitch inducer models was numerically simulated by cavitation flow model and mixing two-phase flow model by Fluent software. The distribution of pressure and the cavitation volume fraction at suction surface were taken out. The main characteristics of the interior flow field were described by comparing with three groups of data, the relation between variation regularity of inducer pitch and the inducer performance was given. The anti-cavitation performance was worse with the variable-pitch coefficient increasing, the static pressure decreased with the axial length of inducer increasing. The performance of mode 1 was greater, the results of test showed that the pump unit with the model 1 variable-pitch inducer can improve the anti-cavitation performance.
