Hello, I want to simulate the turbine of a centrifugal pump to improve its performance in terms of efficiency and head by changing or modifying parameters such as the blade width (b2), blade angle (β₂), number of blades, their thickness, and the outer diameter of the turbine. Could you provide me with a procedure to do this using ANSYS Fluent? The goal is to obtain efficiency curves as a function of flow rate and head curves as a function of flow rate.
Thank you in advance!
1- You should study CFD.
2- Learn how you can make the moving grid in the FLUENT simulation.
1 CFX is more siutable for rotor dynamics simulations, but Fluent also can be used.
2. Ansys has complete toutorial how simulate Fluent_Rotating-Machinery with several examples.
3. For you task you need to use Workbench and preparing geometry in Design Modeler using instrument BladeModeler and performing parametric calculations. For meshing you can use TurboGrid but is not nessesery. You can easily find some tutorials in YouTube how to do it.
