Abstract: To reveal the transient flow characteristics of the main flow-through components of the centrifugal pump as turbine under the best efficiency point condition, the unsteady flow characteristics of a centrifugal pump with specific speed of 90 under the turbine mode are simulated based on the modified partially-averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) turbulence model, and the accuracy of the simulated results is verified by experiments. Subsequently, according to the inlet and outlet speed triangles of the blades, the theoretical best efficiency point condition of the inlet and outlet of the blade is calculated, respectively. The law of internal flow in the cascade under the best efficiency point conditions is predicted. The transient flow characteristics of the volute and impeller under the best efficiency point conditions are analyzed. The results show that the theoretical optimal inlet and outlet of the impeller and best efficiency operating discharge are 55 m3/h, 108 m3/h, and 80 m3/h, respectively. The rotor-stator interaction will promote the shedding of the vortex at the leading edge of the tongue of volute. When the leading edge of the impeller is parallel with the leading edge of the tongue, the pressure pulsation intensity of volute is the lowest. The shedding frequency of the vortex in the cascade is about 2fn, and the evolution of the vortex is mainly dominated by the tensile term and the Coriolis force term in its transport equation. The evolution of the vortex near the suction surface has a great influence on the pressure fluctuation in the front and middle flow channels of the impeller, while the evolution of the blade trailing edge vortex has a great influence on the pressure fluctuation at the outlet of the impeller. The research results can provide a reference for improving the operating stability of centrifugal pumps as turbines in energy recovery systems.
