Abstract

Labyrinth ring, an integral component of pump-turbines, exert significant influence on the safe and stable operation of the unit. Presently, research into the operational mechanisms of labyrinth ring configurations is relatively limited. This study employs orthogonal numerical simulation to investigate the operational mechanisms of key parameters of simplified serrated labyrinth rings comprehensively. The findings reveal that the tooth height and the narrowest gap of serrated labyrinth rings are negatively and positively correlated, respectively, with the force exerted on the labyrinth ring. Additionally, a higher number of teeth enhances the pressure-reducing capacity per tooth. Concerning energy loss, smaller narrowest gaps, larger tooth heights, and a higher number of teeth contribute to greater energy loss within the gap. This research offers technical support for mitigating leakage and reducing the impact of force characteristics in pump-turbines under different operating conditions.
