Abstract

Abrasive wear is a damage caused by small solid particles which are transported by the working fluid of a hydraulic machine. In case of an impact of an abrasive particle, material of the boundary surface is removed or deformed. Several material parameters have an influence on the amount of the removed material. In complex industrial applications, like the impact of a free jet with particle loading on a pelton bucket of a turbine in a water power plant, the abrasive particles, i.e. the loading of the fluid, often consist of geomaterials. In this paper a new approach is presented for accurately modelling abrasive wear due to a loading consisting of particles of geomaterials with different sizes. The fluid is modelled with the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. This method is a complete meshless method which is very suitable for highly transient flows with free surfaces. The loading is described with two different methods depending on the size of the particle. Smaller particles are modelled with a transport equation and larger ones with the Discrete Element Method. In this study the resulting wear patterns, due to the impact of a free jet with loading consisting of particles with different diameters, are presented.
