Abstract
The influence of a different blade number, blade wrapping angle and blade outlet angle on flexible fiber passing performance is analyzed numerically with CFD-DEM coupling. The results demonstrate that a non-clogging pump with two blades exhibits superior passing performance compared to the non-clogging pump with three blades. Specifically, when the fiber length L is 150 mm, the passing performance of the pump with different wrapping angles is 270° > 240° > 300°, from highest to lowest, and the transport time T0 is 0.27 s, 0.34 s, 0.46 s, respectively. When the length L is 200 mm, the passing performance is 240° > 270° ≈ 300°, and the transport time T0 is 0.48 s, 0.55 s, and 0.55 s, respectively. When the fiber length L is 250 mm, the passing performance is 240° ≈ 270° > 300°. When the fiber length L is 150 mm, the passing performance of the pump with different outlet angles is 15° > 25° > 20°, and the transport time T0 is 0.17 s, 0.27 s, and 0.34 s, respectively. When the fiber length L is 200 mm, the passing performance is 25° > 15° ≈ 20° and the transport time T0 is 0.26 s, 0.50 s, and 0.48 s, respectively. When the fiber length L is 250 mm, the passing performance is 25° > 15° > 20°, and the transport time T0 is 0.31 s, 0.54 s and 0.96 s, respectively.
