Abstract: Concrete pumping technology is becoming more and more popular in civil engineering. But the prediction of pumping pressure loss lacks effective technical methods for a long time, it relies on large coil experiments which consume a lot in engineering applications. In this paper, the influence of rheological parameters on the pressure loss of concrete pumping is studied by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, and take the experimental results as a comparison. The results showed that the SST·k-ω turbulence model can accurately predict the concrete pumping pressure loss. Viscosity is the main factor affecting pump pressure loss. The pumping loss per unit length is proportional to the viscosity. The higher the viscosity, the greater the resistance of concrete due to shearing increases with the increase of viscosity, the pressure loss increases. The pressure loss decreases with the increase of the yield stress, and when the concrete yield stress is less than 150 Pa, the pressure loss decreases more significantly as the yield stress increases. When the stress is greater than 150 Pa, the effect of yield stress on pumping loss is not obvious. The simulation method proposed in this paper could effectively determine the pumping pressure loss. In addition, the influence mechanism of rheological parameters on pumping pressure loss was studied. The results show that the rheological parameters of concrete are the main factors influencing the pressure loss. When the yield stress of fresh concrete increases, the thickness of the shear layer in the pump tube decreases, thus reducing the pressure loss per unit length in the pump tube. As the viscosity of the concrete increases, the resistance due to shearing in the pump tube increases, thereby increasing the pumping loss per unit length in the pump tube.
