Physical model testing
7 augustus 2015
Physical model testing of pumping stations is
performed to ensure suppling hydraulically proper
feed flow towards the pumps to:
• Increase of lifetime and reduction of maintainance cost
• Maintain the efficiency of the pump
• Ensure pump capacity

Acceptance criteria – Pre-rotation
7 augustus 2015
“Preswirl alters the inlet velocity vector at the impeller vanes, resulting in undesired changes
in pump performance characteristics, including potential vibration” - ANSI/HI
“Except for some special cases, …, pump performance near the highest efficiency point is
influenced only slightly by rotating flow” - TSJ-S002
ANSI/HI
• long term average (600 s)
- 100% < 5
• short term (10-30 s)
˗ 90% < 5
˗ 100% < 7
IIHR
• long term average (300 s)
- 100% < 5

Reference Backwall splitter
Recent research - Optimisation of the feed flow
Modifications have (sometimes) a local effect
Example: Backwall splitter decreases the velocity at the back
No other effects observed

Summary
7 augustus 2015
Vortices
Examination of a pumping station with respect to vortices is consistent
Pre-rotation
The acceptability of the feed flow with respect to pre-rotation depends on
• the used standard
• the interpretation of the acceptance criterion
Velocity variations
The acceptability of the feed flow with respect to velocity variations depends on
• the used standard
• the interpretation of the acceptance criterion
Modifications to the pump compartment have a limited effect on the velocity variations
