Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the transient characteristics of mixed-flow pumps during startup process.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a full-flow field transient calculation method of mixed-flow pump based on a closed-loop model.
Findings
The findings show the hydraulic losses and internal flow characteristics of the piping system during the start-up process.
Research limitations/implications
Large computational cost.
Practical implications
Improve the accuracy of current numerical simulation results in transient process of mixed-flow pump.
Originality/value
Simplify the setting of boundary conditions in the transient calculation.
