The head-capacity curves for pumps developed by the pump manufacturer are based on tests of a single pump operating in a semi-infinite basin with no close walls or floors and with no stray currents. Therefore, flow into the pump intake is with no vortices or swirling. However, pump station designers relying on these curves to define the operating conditions for the pump selected sometimes meet the reductions of capacity and efficiency, as well as the increase of vibration and additional noise, which were caused by air-entered flow in the pump station. From this background, the authors are carrying out a systematic study on the flow characteristics of intakes within a sump of pump station model. Multi-intake sump model with anti-submerged vortex device basin is designed and the characteristics of submerged vortex is investigated in the flow field by numerical simulation. In this study, a commercial CFD code is used to predict the vortex generation in the pump station accurately. The analysed results by CFD show that the vortex structure and effect of anti-submerged vortex device are different at each pump intake channel.

In general, the function of intake structure, whether it be a open channel, a fully wetted tunnel, a sump or a tank, is to supply an evenly distributed flow to a pump station. An even distribution of flow, characterized by strong local flow, can result in formation of surface or submerged vortices, and with certain low values of submergence, may introduce air into pump, causing a reduction of capacity and efficiency, an increase in vibration and additional noise. Unfortunately in order to design the sump station, the reasonable code or the standards weren't presented yet in Korea. Thus, some researchers had often referred the HI code, JSME code or CEN code to design the sump station. This study aims to prescribe the standard of sump design which were matched well the Korean pump station. Thus, the HI code and TSJ code would be interpreted fully to Korean language, the part of interpreted clauses of the western codes would be selected to compose the standard.

펌프장 흡입수조에서 발생되는 보텍스의 구조를 Sump Model Test와 PIV 방법을 수행하여 보텍스 발생여부를 검증한 결과는 아래와 같다. 1) 현장조사의 결과 취수장 대부분의 흡수정 구조가 유체역학적으로 보텍스를 발생시키는 구조였음을 알 수 있었으며 흡수정의 형태를 흡입구와 수문이 일직선으로 되어 있는 토목구조를 가진 펌프장이 경유는 보텍스 발생이 비교적 적었음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 토목구조의 설계가 펌프과정에 따른 흡수정 내의 유동장을 고려하여 볼 때 매우중요하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 2) JSME S 004-1984를 토대로 1/8 모델내에서 모형수리실험을 수행한 결과 현장에서 발견된 결과와 같이 예측되었다. 또한, 모든 상사조건 일치에서 수위나 운전대수 및 호기조합에 따라 정도의 차이는 있으나 모든 경우에 보텍스가 심하게 발생하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 3) PIV 실험에서 볼 수 있듯이 자유표면 보텍스는 $\sharp$1 호기와 $\sharp$3 호기에서 주로 발견되었는데 이는 $\sharp$3 호기 흡입구 바로 전방에 있는 취수구의 영향으로 강한 회전흐름이 수조 내에서 형성되기 때문으로 보여진다. 4) 보텍스의 발생은 펌프 소음발생 임펠러 수명 및 성능에 나쁜 영향을 주기 때문에 반드시 Anti Vortex Device를 설치하여 보텍스의 발생을 저감시켜야 한다.

In order to suggest the methodology for achieving anti-vortex device within multi pump intake well, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were conducted for two alternative suggestions. Multi-intake sump model with anti-vortex device basins were designed and the characteristics of submerged vortex were investigated in the flow field by numerical simulation. From the results of simulations, to install the horizontal plate and vertical cross plates within basins were effective for preventing air-induction vortex.
