Two-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the effects of the shape of mixing chamber on the performance of annularjet pumps for several jet flow rates. We confined the computational domain to a jet, a mixing chamber, and the outlet of the pump. Several computations have been carried out to seek the effects of reducing angles on the suction performance and the efficiency of the jet pump. Some numerical results regarding suction flow rates, head ratios, the efficiencies of the pump, flow fields and pressure distributions are shown and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
