Analysis of Hose pump using CFD

Abstract

This thesis is an introduction to a new industrial model of positive displacement pump knows by the name ‘Hose Pump’. In this thesis, just a simulation of the shape of hose and watch the changes in speed and other barometers, especially in the contact area. A comparison between theoretical, numerical and experimental results was presented for the numerical analysis that of one of the assumptions, the commercial package Fluent 6.3 was used. The results obtained show a good correlation between the three approaches for different rotational speed of the hose pump. Presented a comparison of forms vortices made up at different cases of the hose and comment on each case. The main results of this study are that most of the parameters were significantly changed in the contact arc between the roller and hose.
