It is also troublesome that very often the calculations are stabilised only after a few rotations of the operating element. However, the use of computational fluid dynamics methods to model this group of machines and equipment is justified, as it enables:
Determining the internal and external characteristics of machines and devices in virtual space
Imaging and observing the flow phenomena in the machine itself (especially when for various reasons it is impossible to measure physical quantities of the flowing medium)
Designing equipment for which there are no design guidelines (e.g. differentials, mixers)
Improving the efficiency of machinery and equipment
In this chapter, selected examples of numerical calculations will be described, showing the possibility of using CFD methods to solve machine and equipment problems with a rotating operating element, often found in industrial practice.
\nThe innovative vane pump described in study [1] was subjected to the analysis of flow phenomena. In this solution, the pump is integrated into the BLDC permanent magnet electric motor. Due to its design, which differs from the standard solutions, it was necessary to check whether cavitation could occur in the suction channel of the pump. The main objective of the CFD simulation was to determine the areas where cavitation is likely to occur [2] and its intensity depending on the rotational velocity. The subject of the study is a positive displacement pump with integrated electric drive, consisting of an impeller embedded in a casing. Unlike conventional gear and vane pumps [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], the pump impeller and motor stator are immovable components, while the pump casing rotates with the rotor of the electric motor. Figure 1 shows the 3D model of the analysed pump.
\n(a) 3D model of the vane pump with integrated mechatronic electric drive and (b) 3D model of the operating fluid volume filling the pump.
An important problem is to examine the flow in the suction channel of the pump, as it is exposed to the adverse effects of cavitation, which can develop as a result of a too high value of negative pressure occurring in the suction area.
\nOn the basis of the three-dimensional model of the pump, a geometric model of the volume of operating fluid filling its interior was prepared (Figure 1b). As expected, the result is a very complex structure in terms of geometry. Due to the particular interest in the phenomena occurring in the suction channel of the pump, the calculations used a fragment of the geometric model of the operating fluid volume filling the interior of the pump, which is the volume of oil filling the pump from the inlet to the suction kidneys supplying the fluid to the inter-vane spaces (Figure 2a). The separated volume is contained in the immovable elements of the structure, which further simplifies the formulation of the flow problem and the choice of calculation parameters.
\n(a) Suction channel geometry and (b) discrete model.
Based on the three-dimensional pump model, the simplified geometric model of the operating fluid volume filling the suction channel was discretized using a tetrahedral grid. The result is a geometric model divided into 144,390 tetrahedral elements with 29,711 nodes, as shown in Figure 2b.
\nThe next step in formulating the flow problem is to select the type and define the boundary conditions for relevant fragments of the geometry. In the analysed case, the conditions concerning the fluid inflow and outflow were set as shown in Figure 2a.
\nIn order to obtain the most accurate results of the simulation, the “pressure inlet” condition at the inlet and the “mass flow rate” at the outlet were assumed. The mass flow rate was determined using the formula:
where q is the specific mass flow rate; z is the number of vanes; b is the width of a vane; w is the thickness of a vane; R1 is the small race radius; and R2 is the large race radius.
\nOn this basis, the numerical values entered into the simulation for each impeller velocity were obtained. Within the framework of the study, the analysis of the operating medium flow through the suction channel of the vane pump was performed for various rotational velocity values—changed within the range of 500–3000 rpm.
\nFigure 3 shows the pressure distributions in the suction channel of the tested pump for the generic geometry. For each of the cases considered, the lowest pressure occurs in one of the channels supplying fluid to the suction kidneys directly at the inlet to the channel. It was found that the negative pressures for the whole range of rotational velocities are higher than the pressure of oil evaporation, which prevents the occurrence of cavitation phenomena.
\nGeneric geometry—suction channel pressure distribution for different rotational velocities: (a) 500 rpm, (b) 1000 rpm, (c) 1500 rpm, (d) 2000 rpm, (e) 2500 rpm and (f) 3000 rpm.
The results of the calculations, apart from pressure distributions, were presented in the form of velocity distributions in the considered area, which are presented in Figure 4. From the obtained velocity distributions, it appears that the rotational velocity of the pump significantly influences the velocity of fluid flow in one of the supply channels for both the generic and the modified geometry. It is worth noting that the area where the highest velocities were identified corresponds to the area of the lowest pressures observed in the suction channel. The velocity of the fluid decreases with the lowering of the rotational velocity, but in the case of simplified geometry, it is slightly lower.

Figure 5 shows the fluid flow in the form of streamlines, for which the inflow plane to the domain is assigned as the beginning. The results obtained confirm the previous assumptions that the fluid flows evenly and without major turbulences through both inlet channels. Uneven velocity distribution and different pressure values due to asymmetrical layout of channels did not affect the fluid flow. The results obtained on the basis of numerical calculations are the basis for evaluation of the structure of channels supplying fluid to the inter-vane volumes.

Another object under consideration with rotating operating elements was a radial fan. The aim of the numerical simulation was to improve its efficiency. The flow of real gas through a fan with a finite amount of blades is carried out by the cost of loss of energy, called hydraulic losses. Those losses are a consequence of the friction of air molecules occurring on the blade walls and fan housing, vortexes developed in the gas stream, etc. The influence of hydraulic losses on the working characteristic of the radial fan is described by a hydraulic efficiency coefficient, which is defined as the ratio of the useful power to the power delivered by the impeller. This coefficient also defines the real delivery height to the theoretical delivery height—obtained for the finite amount of impeller blades. The impeller geometry considered in possible options, i.e. with eight (factory option) and nine (suggested option) vanes, are shown in Figures 6 and 7.
\nImpeller shape: eight vanes.
Impeller shape: nine vanes.
For the calculations, the model of impeller according to the enclosed documentation was used as the output model. Calculations have been made for both impeller variants. For both of the cases, the discrete model was based on tetrahedral elements (as exemplary shown in Figure 8). Elements near walls were compacted. The flow was modelled as turbulent, using the RANS method and the two-equation turbulence model k-ε.
\nDiscrete model with division into tetrahedral elements on the impeller and vanes.
In the first stage of the study, the analysis of the impeller with eight (Figure 6) and nine (Figure 7) vanes was carried out. For the eight vanes, the results of the simulation were also compared with the available results in the technical documentation and found to be similar (Figure 9). Furthermore, the overall performance of the two types of impellers found with aid of CFD calculation maintains in similar level.
\nComparison of the calculation results and the results of the technical documentation for the impeller with the eight and nine vanes.
In order to verify the correctness of the calculation of the main dimensions of the impeller, a theoretical design process was carried out. On the basis of known designs, the influence of impeller parameters on its performance, compression and efficiency was simulated. It was necessary to maintain the existing parameters of the impeller, improving only its efficiency. The modifications were limited by the external dimensions of the impeller in order to be able to work with the existing collecting volute.
\nAfter a number of variant combinations, the outlet angle of the vane was changed to 23° and the vane profile modified to improve efficiency. The results show that by changing the outlet angle, the average efficiency for the eight-vane impeller was increased by 2.3% and for the nine-vane impeller by 2.9% in relation to the basic eight-vane impeller.
\nFigure 10 shows a comparison of the flow images for the impellers with eight and nine vanes with a 23° outlet angle.
\nTotal velocity [m/s] distribution for calculated impeller operating points with eight and nine vanes.
The best results were obtained for the nine-vane impeller and the changed outlet angle. An average efficiency increase of 2.9% was achieved in relation to the impeller from the technical documentation. The flow images are correct. There are no particularly dangerous phenomena, such as interruption of flow or turbulence.
\nAnother object of the study was a single-stage centrifugal pump with a spiral volute cooperating with two similar types of impellers, commonly used in such a device. Those impellers are denoted as W13 and W17. The W17 impeller differs from the W13 impeller only by the shape of a vane. Both impellers had eight vanes each. The analysis of the impellers with the two-dimensional peculiarity method for non-viscous medium suggested higher cavitation resistance of the W13 impeller.
\nIn the first stage, calculations were made of the undetermined flow through the pump without cavitation in order to determine the most favourable boundary conditions to be applied when analysing the flow through the pump and determining the calculation characteristics of the pump and the impeller.
\nThe calculations reflect the full three-dimensional geometry of the pump (Figure 11) consisting of a straight section of the pipeline before the inlet to the impeller, a centrifugal impeller, a spiral collecting volute, a diffuser, and a short section of pipeline after the pump.
\nThe calculation area under consideration and its characteristic cross sections (W13 impeller pump).
Separate discreet models have been built in the inlet and outlet impeller areas. On the cylindrical surface between the impeller and the volute, these models were not connected by common nodes and remained unfit. Thus, during the calculation it was possible to use the “sliding mesh” technique, which is used to model the rotation of the impeller in relation to the stationary casing. The discrete model is built with approximately 1.3 million tetrahedral elements in total. The elements were also compacted near the vane surface and in the area between the impeller and the collecting channel (Figure 12).
\nDiscrete model by type of tetrahedral element of the impeller surface, on the hub and rear disc side.
The mathematical model of the flow is described by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). For the description of the turbulence, a two-equation k-ε model was used. The following control surfaces were used, where static pressure was monitored during the calculation:
The inlet section at the beginning of the suction channel (A-A)
The cylindrical surface at the outlet from the impeller inter-vane channel (B-B)
The cross section at the end of the diffuser (C-C)
The outlet section at the end of the cylindrical section of the pipeline (D-D)
Calculations were made according to the scheme:
\nIn the inlet section (A-A), a homogeneous velocity field was set with the value resulting from the flow rate and the channel section area c = Q/A and the direction corresponding to the connector axis (“velocity inlet” boundary condition). In cross section (D-D), a high static pressure of 1000 kPa was set so that the pressure in the impeller would not drop below the saturation vapour pressure (“pressure outlet” boundary condition). A two-phase flow “mixture” model was selected for the calculations. During the calculations, equations describing the formation of the gaseous phase (cavitation) were excluded. This approach is suggested by ANSYS Fluent.
\nOn the internal walls of the flow channel, the condition of zero velocity of the fluid in relation to the wall was set. The increase of static pressure (increase of hydrostatic height) between inlet and outlet cross sections of the pump was the expected value and allowed to reproduce flow characteristics. During the calculations, the average static pressure was monitored on the four control surfaces mentioned above. The calculations were interrupted after repeated oscillations of the static pressure on these surfaces were obtained, which took place after 6–8 rotations of the impeller. An example of a pressure pulsation diagram is shown in Figure 13. A fixed time step of Δt = 5,75E–5 s, corresponding to an impeller rotation by 1°, was used for the calculations.
\nExample pressure pulsation diagram as pressure difference between vane outlet (interface_2) and inlet (inlet), depending on iteration (time).
The calculated flow characteristics of the entire pump and the W13 impeller are presented in Figure 14. The course of the relevant experimental characteristics is also presented.
\nPump and impeller flow characteristics W13 determined by calculation of the transient flow (spiral collecting channel model): comparison with experimental data.
The pump characteristics indicate a pressure increase between the cross sections A-A and C-C, characteristics of the impeller—between sections A-A and B-B. The pressure drop in the suction channel is insignificant compared to the pressure drop in the impeller.
\nCavitation in the pump is associated with a pressure drop in the suction area of the first degree [11]. This causes the fluid-vapour biphasic flow to occur and the continuity of the flow through the pump to be interrupted. In centrifugal pumps, cavitation shall be characterised by a clearly visible disturbance in the following characteristics: flow H = f(Q), power consumption P = f(Q) and efficiency η = f(Q). If the suction height increases at a given velocity and flow rate (or the intake height decreases), then the boundary value of the suction height at which the pump enters the cavitation state is obtained. In this way, taking into account a certain safety margin, it is possible to obtain a curve of the required excess of the energy of a fluid at the pump inlet section over the energy of evaporation of this fluid in the form of NPSH = f(Q) (net positive suction head). The NPSH parameter expresses the “suction power” of the pump:
where ps is the absolute pressure at the inlet cross section of the pump and cs is the fluid velocity at the pump inlet cross section (average). Typically, this surplus is related to a state where the first-stage total head drops by 3% (NPSH3).
\nDetermination of the cavitation state in the impeller for a given flow rate requires many calculations of the pressure distribution in the inter-vane space at the decreasing inlet pressure. The simulation assumes that a simplified geometric model of a collective channel can be used to determine the flow characteristics of the impeller itself. Instead of a spiral, an axial-symmetrical guide was used as a drainage element for the medium.
\nDue to the symmetry of geometry, the flow through the impeller is determined. The elimination of pressure pulsations has significantly accelerated the iterative calculation process. The flow field in the impeller still remained a periodic-symmetric field, but it was the same in all the vane channels. This allowed the calculation area to be limited to one inter-vane channel of the impeller. As a result, the calculation time corresponding to one characteristic point has been reduced.
\nA discrete model consisting of about 300,000 hexahedral cells was used. Since the discrete model remains stationary during the calculation, a moving reference frame was used which rotates at the impeller velocity.
\nFor the calculations, the “velocity inlet” and “pressure outlet” boundary conditions were used on the outer surface of the annular collecting channel and the two-phase flow “mixture” model. During the calculation, the average static pressure value at the cross sections A-A (inlet) and B-B (outlet from the impeller inter-vane channel) was monitored.
\nCavitation test in the impeller was performed for several selected values of the flow rate. Calculations were carried out in which equations describing cavitation and two-phase flow were included. The static pressure at the outlet was gradually reduced from 800 to 580 kPa.
\nIt was found that the lowest pressure in the impeller was initially higher than the saturated vapour pressure pmin > pv; then it was already limited by the pv value. For each set outlet pressure, the static inlet pressure was recorded. In the W13 impeller, cavitation occurs on the impeller vanes, close to the incidence edge on the concave side of the vane. In the W17 impeller, cavitation appears on the convex side of the vane (for Q = 70 m3/h). Selected images of the development of cavitation are presented in Figures 15 and 16.

Cavitation development image on the impeller W17 disc surface at Q = 70 m3/h and decreasing static inlet pressure (percentage of gas phase is given).
When the outlet pressure is further reduced, it reaches a constant boundary value, depending on the flow rate—fully developed cavitation. Further lowering of the outlet pressure leads to a loss of convergence and interruption of the calculation.
\nCavitation image – model with spiral collection channel and immovable impeller (Moving Reference Frame) – Figure 17. Cavitation image – model with spiral collecting channel and rotating impeller (Moving Mesh) – Figure 18.
\nCavitation area for parameters: (a) inlet = 189 kPa and outlet = 800 kPa, (b) inlet = 95 kPa and outlet = 700 kPa, (c) inlet = 58 kPa and outlet = 650 kPa, (d) inlet = 27 kPa and outlet = 622 kPa and (e) inlet = 27 kPa and outlet = 600 kPa. The percentage of gas phase is given.
Cavitation area for parameters: (a) inlet = 28.3 kPa and outlet = 675 kPa, (b) inlet = 27.8 kPa and outlet = 650 kPa and (c) inlet = 27.8 kPa and outlet = 622 kPa. The percentage of gas phase is given.
The cavitation fields for the axial-symmetric model are correctly symmetrical. However, the behaviour of the tested impellers is different:
Impeller W13: cavitation is formed on the concave side of the vane.
Impeller W17: cavitation is formed on the convex side of the vane.
The calculations converge quickly. However, the cavitation fields in the moving reference frame model are non-physical, and the cavitation area expands very quickly. Cavitation starts in the direction of the smallest radius of the collecting spiral. The moving mesh model produces the best results (mainly physical). However, the problem is the slow convergence of calculations and their long duration.
\nThe different cavitation properties of the two impellers can be explained by the significantly different inlet angle of the β1 vane—30°40′ (W13) and 21° (W17)—as with the same other geometric data, resulted in a very different position of the ideal inflow point. This is confirmed by the experimental characteristics of the pumps H = f(Q) and η = f(Q) from operation.
\nThe analyses indicated the possibility of obtaining information on cavitation resistance of the designed structure through the rational use of CFD programs. The alternative solution of designing a prototype pump and carrying out a series of experiments may be challenging.
\nThe CFD analysis made it possible to identify areas where cavitation is more likely to occur and to assess its intensity in relation to the rotational velocity. The results showed that one of the inlet channels has both negative pressure and increased fluid flow velocity. Calculations made for different pump rotational velocities and different suction channel geometries have shown that the intensity of these phenomena increases with the rotational velocity. However, these phenomena are not strong enough to contribute to the development of the phenomenon of cavitation. A series of simulations for different suction channel geometries have confirmed that no modification of the suction channel geometry is required. Considering the designs presented here the cavitation occurred either on the convex or concave side of the vane. The main difference between the vanes was the angle of its inclination. Hence there is a specific angle between 30 and 21° at which the transition occurs. The volumetric flow rate was unchanged in both of the impeller designs, although the inlet pressures were found to be different. For blades inclined at 30°, the inlet pressures were almost twice lower than in the case of 21°. Hence lower inclination of blades is more immune to cavitation development.
\nThe CFD calculations were made to check the selection of the main dimensions of the radial fan. After performing many variant calculations, it was found that by changing the number of blades and the outlet angle of the blades, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the fan. It appeared that the efficiency is greater for impellers with greater amount of vanes. Furthermore the efficiency increased when the vanes were inclined to 23°, and as stated above, at such angle the cavitation occurs at higher inlet pressures and represent higher immunity to cavitation. Therefore the increase of efficiency may be partially a consequence of lack of cavitation.
\nIt was found that the characteristics of the centrifugal pump from CFD calculations are consistent with the characteristics obtained experimentally. Based on the CFD analysis, cavitation resistance of the designed centrifugal pump was determined.
