Study of Effectiveness of Cone Cruciform Vortex Breaker Device in Reducing the Swirl Angle by Modifying the Number of Vanes Using CFD Technique
Abstract: AbstractMany of the large-scale vertical pumps installed in various pumping stations have experienced some sort of vibration, impeller damage due to local cavitation, excessive bearing wear, or loss of pumping efficiency, combinations of which are considered to be caused primarily by undesirable pump approach flow conditions such as vortices, swirl in intake structure, and inappropriate geometrical layout surrounding the bellmouth. Conventional fixes to resolve these problems include vortex breaker devices …
