Numerical Simulation of Flow-Induced Noise in Horizontal Axial Flow Pumps in Forward and Reverse Conditions

Donglei Wu and Yalei Bai    

Resumen

This paper investigates the influence of pressure pulsation and flow-induced noise using a two-way dual-purpose pump. The pressure pulsation signal is obtained from the Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) turbulent model calculation as the fan sound source, and the noise sound field distribution in the impeller is calculated. The numerical results show that the external characteristics and pressure pulsation obtained from the simulation correlate well with the experimental values. Under different working conditions, the pressure pulsation decreases with the increase in the flow rate; no evident dominant frequency occurs in the frequency spectrum at a low flow rate, and many spurious frequencies occur. The primary frequency in the runner chamber is the leaf frequency, and that in the nonblade area is the rotating frequency. The sound field distribution of the flow-induced noise has dipole characteristics, and its directivity distribution and sound pressure radiation level can reflect the pressure pulsation characteristics. It is primarily affected by the blade frequency, and the distribution with the flow rate is consistent with the pressure pulsation. Avoiding a low flow and operating in a reasonable flow area can effectively reduce pressure pulsation and flow-induced noise and ensure the stability of unit operation.
