Abstract
Taking the closed modification of an open sump of a water treatment pump station as the research background, the hydraulic design criteria for the closed modification of the sump are put forward by combining numerical simulation, model test. Based on CFD technology, a water pumping station including closed sump, bellmouth, impeller, guide vane, elbow and outlet sump is simulated, and the hydraulic performance of the schemes under different parameters is analyzed and compared. The top floor clearance, width, back wall distance, and floor clearance of the sump are optimized hydraulically, and the hydraulic design criteria of the closed sump are obtained. The results show that when the recommended optimization parameters of the closed sump in this study are that the top floor height HD is 0.9 DL, the width B is 3.0 DL, the back wall distance T is from 0.4 DL, and the floor clearance C is 0.75 DL, the internal flow pattern and hydraulic of the closed sump is better. (DL is the diameter of bellmouth of water pumping station). The model test was set up to compare the hydraulic performance of the pumping station between CFD and the test. The results showed that the CFD data is in good agreement with the experimental data.
