Abstract
Inlet convergence angle is an important dimensional parameter that affects the pump efficiency. In this study, numerical investigation is conducted on the flow field inside the jet pump to clarify the effect of inlet convergence angles on pump efficiency and suction performance. The simulated results show that the pump efficiency and suction performance decreases gradually with the increment in inlet convergence angle.
