      ABSTRACT

      Purpose. Search for the possibility of increasing the efficiency of dredge pumps for viscous fluids by determining the rational values of the blade-outlet inclination angles in the pump impellers.

      Methods. During the research, the following is used: theoretical studies of the structure of the viscous fluids flowing through the flow part of dredge pumps; the method of three-dimensional software-simulation modeling of hydrodynamic processes using the Ansys software package; the methods of rational experiment planning for selecting the values of the number of points in the computational grid when optimizing the geometric parameters of the dredge pump impellers; methods of mathematical statistics and correlation analysis.

      Findings. It has been proven that the main reason for the failure of the flow part components in the dredge pumps is the manifestation of the influence of cavitation processes, which can be eliminated by changing the blade-outlet inclination angles in the pump impellers. A software-simulation complex for the automated design of the flow parts in the dredge pumps has been developed based on the use of optimization algorithms and computational fluid dynamics methods, which makes it possible to design dredge pumps with optimal characteristics that ensure their efficient operation with maximum efficiency values. It has been determined that one of the main factors influencing the head developed by dredge pumps and the efficiency value is the blade-outlet inclination angle in the pump impellers.

      Originality. Scientific novelty is in the scientific substantiation and development of a simulation-mathematical method for calculating the geometric parameters of the flow part in dredge pumps for viscous fluids at the design stage.

      Practical implications. The developed method for determining the rational blade-outlet inclination angles of the impellers in the dredge pumps for viscous fluids can be recommended to scientific-research and industrial organizations for use in the improvement, design and operation of the dredge pumps.

      Keywords: hydraulic transport, dredge pump, impeller, blade, wear, static pressure
