Effect of suction oil temperature on internal flow characteristics of a cycloid rotor pump
摘要
The suction-side oil temperature (ST) significantly influences the unsteady internal flow characteristics and performance stability of cycloidal rotor pumps (CRP). To clarify these effects, a three-dimensional transient numerical model incorporating dynamic mesh techniques is established to simulate the internal flow evolution under varying ST conditions. The results indicate that the reduced oil viscosity leads to a decline in average flow rate and a notable increase in the outlet flow pulsation factor (KQ) as the ST increases. Moreover, the expansion of low-pressure regions and a further decrease in the minimum pressure indicate a more pronounced negative pressure condition. The rotor’s radial excitation force weakens and becomes more spatially concentrated, while leakage through the intermeshing clearance increases with temperature. Frequency-domain analysis confirms that the dominant pressure pulsation frequency aligns closely with the rotor meshing frequency (
