Abstract
This paper reports on the use of a commercial CFD package to model the flow fields and bubble trajectories in the cylinder of a reciprocating plunger pump during the suction stroke. The predicted behaviour of bubbles is compared with results obtained from a previously-reported flow visualisation study of a mock pump. The good qualitative agreement provides the basis for using the CFD model to examine the effect of changes to the pump valve and cylinder geometries.
