Abstract :
The numerical simulation of flow in recycled water pump intake sump of thermal power plant is carried out by k-epsiv turbulence model. According to the results of numerical simulation, the influence of different sump sizes combination on the flow flied is valuated. On the basis of ensuring the water flowing in the sump with a good flow pattern, the optimal ranges of main sizes saving the project investment as far as possibly are recommended.
