Formation and collapse of cavitation bubbles during operation of an axial piston pump
Numerical analysis of oil-suction cavitation in the working chamber of an axial piston pump involves simulating fluid flow and pressure distribution to understand and predict the occurrence of cavitation. Here is a step-by-step overview of the numerical analysis process:
1. Geometric modeling: Create a 3D model of the working chamber of the axial piston pump, including pistons, cylinders, valve plates and other related components. Make sure the model accurately represents the geometry and dimensions of the pump.
2. Fluid flow simulation: use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to technically solve the control equations of fluid flow in the studio. The Navier-Stokes equations are usually solved numerically, supplemented by appropriate turbulence models and, if applicable, multiphase flow models.
3. Boundary conditions: Define the appropriate boundary conditions for the simulation. Specify inlet conditions (such as flow or pressure) and outlet conditions. Consider the viscosity and compressibility of the fluid, as well as the operating parameters of the pump.
4. Cavitation models: Incorporate cavitation models into simulations to predict the occurrence and behavior of cavitation. These models take into account factors such as pressure, temperature, fluid properties, and bubble formation, growth, and collapse.

10. Sensitivity analysis: Conduct sensitivity analysis to understand the influence of various parameters on oil absorption cavitation. This involves systematically varying parameters such as inlet pressure, rotational speed, fluid properties or pump geometry to assess their effect on cavitation characteristics. Identify key parameters that significantly affect cavitation and prioritize them for further research and optimization.
11. Mesh Refinement: Assess mesh quality and consider mesh refinement for regions of interest to better capture cavitation behavior. Pay special attention to regions where cavitation bubbles are expected to form, collapse, or interact with the flow field. Refinement of the mesh improves the accuracy of the results and ensures that important flow features are captured.
12. Experimental data validation: Numerical models are validated by comparing simulation results with available experimental data. This helps ensure the reliability of the model and its ability to accurately predict cavitation behavior. Consider comparing parameters such as pressure drop, flow, and degree of cavitation with experimental measurements to validate numerical simulations.
13. Parameter optimization: use numerical models to conduct parameter optimization research. Optimize pump configurations to minimize cavitation and improve performance by changing design or operating parameters such as valve plate geometry, swash plate angle or pump speed. Optimization techniques such as response surface methods, genetic algorithms, or gradient-based methods can be employed to efficiently explore the parameter space and determine the best solution.

14. Anti-cavitation measures: Evaluate the effectiveness of anti-cavitation measures within the numerical model. These measures may include introducing additional damping structures, optimizing flow paths, or changing operating conditions to mitigate cavitation. Evaluate the impact of these measures on cavitation characteristics and determine the most effective strategies to reduce cavitation-induced damage and improve pump performance.
15. Transient Analysis: Consider performing transient simulations to capture the dynamic behavior of cavitation, such as the formation and collapse of cavitation bubbles during pump operation. Transient simulations provide insight into the time dependence of cavitation and its impact on pump performance. This is especially important for capturing cavitation-induced instabilities and their effects on pumping systems.
16. Digital code verification: Verify the digital code used for analysis to ensure its accuracy and reliability. This involves comparing the obtained results with known analytical solutions or benchmark cases. Verification of the digital code helps build confidence in the simulation results and ensures that the code correctly captures the physical phenomena of interest.
By following these steps and considerations, numerical analysis of suction cavitation in the working chamber of an axial piston pump can provide valuable insights into pump performance and help optimize design and operating parameters. It also helps in developing anti-cavitation strategies and improving pump reliability and efficiency.
