In this study, we analyzed the performance characteristics of an axial flow pump with different angles of internally installed inlet guide vanes (IGVs). We predicted the pump's performance based on changes in the IGV angle and analyzed the impact of these angle variations on pump operation in the low-flow region. Additionally, we used real operational data from two sewage treatment plants to propose efficient operational scenarios. For turbulence flow analysis, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations were discretized based on the finite volume method. The grid formation was evaluated using the grid convergence index to select the optimal grid. Then, the internal flow was analyzed in detail through transient-state analysis. Through fast Fourier transform analysis, we confirmed that adjusting the IGV angle during pump operation in the low-flow region in response to load changes results in more stable operation compared with the existing method (valve control). Overall, our findings verified that energy reduction and efficient operation can be achieved through IGV angle adjustment compared with valve control.

Advanced inlet guide vane (IGV) and diffuser vane (DV) geometries were constructed in an effort to increase the energy performance of an axial-flow pump at the best efficiency point (BEP). DV setting angles were also investigated to increase energy performance at the off-design points. By integrating the advantages of an adjustable IGV, combinations of adjustable IGV and DV geometries were constructed and thoroughly analyzed by way of energy loss.

In this study, numerical simulation was employed to predict the performance and internal flow characteristics of the inlet of an axial-flow pump by assigning an absolute flow angle to the inlet guide vane (IGV) trailing-edge flow. Further, the finite volume method based on the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations was employed to discretize the governing equations. The shear stress transport model was used as the turbulence model, and an appropriate number of nodes were selected for the hexahedral grid system through a grid-dependency test.

Plant height, petiole length, and the angle of the leaf petiole and branch angles are crucial traits determining plant architecture and yield in soybean ( L.). Here, we characterized a soybean mutant with super-short petioles (SSP) and enlarged petiole angles (named ) through phenotypic observation, anatomical structure analysis, and bulk sequencing analysis.

Inlet flow direction significantly affects the hydraulic performance of an axial-flow pump. Usually, the research papers ignore this phenomenon, resulting in discrepancies between simulation and experimental results. This study examines the influence of inflow direction in five cases (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 30% pre-swirl intensities) to determine the relationship between the pre-swirl intensity and the hydraulic performance of the axial-flow pump.
