Coarse Particle Motion Characteristics in a Double-Stage Slurry Pump Considering Leakage Flow

Figure 9

Distribution and velocity of particle groups at 1.2 s with leakage. The velocity magnitude of the particles is marked as semitransparent color spheres, among which seven important regions are emphasized as nontransparent spheres: (a) schematic diagram of partition of the pump and (b) front view of Region 3 or 6 shaped as a hollow cylinder.
