Fluid analysis of an internal gear pump using Simerics MP+.

Wavefront Inc. will hold an online seminar titled "Utilizing the Latest Thermal Fluid Analysis Software and Turbo Design Software"! In recent years, various initiatives have been undertaken to achieve a carbon-neutral society. For example, in the automotive industry, with the further promotion of electrification, energy conservation, and efficiency, there is an increasing demand for thermal fluid analysis, including cooling simulations for electric motors (water cooling/oil cooling) and oil agitation simulations for planetary gear mechanisms used in EVs/HEVs. In this seminar, we will introduce the thermal fluid analysis software "Simerics MP+" that specializes in these complex simulations! Additionally, the construction of small hydropower plants contributing to sustainable renewable energy supply is becoming increasingly active. Since installation locations are not limited as long as there is a drop and flow, many sites remain available for development, and many companies are entering this field. We will also introduce the turbo design software "CFturbo," which serves as a stepping stone for those involved in small hydropower generation, expected to further spread and diversify, to increase turbine efficiency while keeping design periods and costs down!

"Internal Flow Analysis and Hysteresis Reproduction of Poppet Valve Type Pressure Control Valve" The paper titled "Internal Flow Analysis and Hysteresis Reproduction of Poppet Valve Type Pressure Control Valve" by the team of Professors Tanaka and Shimizu from Kyushu Institute of Technology, who are heavy users of SimericsMP+, has been published in the Journal of the Japan Fluid Power System Society! If you are interested in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for valves, please take a look!

As a user case of Simerics MP+, we have published a fluid analysis (CFD) of a vane pump using Simerics MP+ (formerly known as Pumplinx), with the cooperation of the staff from the Foundation Technology Research Institute of KYB Corporation!
