Study of slurry transport characteristics in a jet pump

In this study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis method was used to simulate the mixing and transportation  characteristics of water and mud in a jet pump. By observing the fluid mixing law in the mixing chamber, throat and other structures,  the internal flow field distribution of the jet pump under different working conditions was compared and studied. As a result, the internal flow details and operation performance curves of a certain size jet mud pump were obtained. It provides theoretical support  for the optimisation design of a slurry jet pump in dredging engineering.
