Abstract

The gear pump is a rotating pump that moves and changes depending on the working volume that is created between the gear and the pump cylinder to transport or pressurize the liquid. It is one of the most widely used hydraulic pumping devices. It has been adopted in road equipment, conveyor systems, and other industrial machineries. Its performance is critical to the engineering equipment. With the development of fluid mechanics, the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique is widely used to predict the internal flow filed of gear pumps. CFD can provide researchers more intuitive observation and analysis to help the designers to enhance the effectiveness of gear pump. This paper summarizes the principle of flow simulation methods for gear pump and its applications. The research results and key findings are summarized. Defects of existing research are pointed out and suggestions for future research are provided. To sum up, this paper has a certain reference value for researchers who would like to know the hydraulic simulation process for gear pumps.
