Simulation of a spiral pump using Simerics MP+.
Introducing a simulation of a vortex pump (centrifugal pump), which is an example of fluid analysis.
CFD allows for the shortening of product development periods, reduction of prototype costs, and acquisition of detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. Centrifugal pumps, which utilize centrifugal force to draw up liquids, are widely used for water supply and irrigation, as well as for general industrial applications. An important challenge in design is that, due to the principle of pushing liquid with centrifugal force, cavitation tends to occur easily. Research and development are ongoing daily to suppress this and enhance pump efficiency and durability. However, this requires spending a lot of cost and time on prototyping and experimenting with centrifugal pumps. With Simerics' CFD, multiple cavitation models can be used, and erosion prediction is also possible, allowing for accurate and physically meaningful simulations! This is expected to significantly reduce man-hours and costs! There are many more reasons to use Simerics' CFD software.
