[ANSYS Meshing] meshing a centerifugal pump

tmeysam92 · May 24, 2014, 02:15

Hi all,

i want to mesh a pump. i divided my geometry in 2 parts, the impeller and volute.(please see the attached files)

i want to mesh each part separately in icem cfd.

my impeller have 6 blades. how can i mesh the impeller using structured mesh? is it possible to mesh the domain around one blade then using pattern tools in icem cfd for meshing the whole geometry of impeller?

is there any file or video that can help me in meshing of impeller? i have some experience in meshing in icem cfd.

i really need your help.

thanks in advance.

I've never needed to mesh this myself as I don't work on turbomachinery but I just saw the attached image in one of the ICEM CFD Introduction Training Material presentations which you can download from the ANSYS Customer Portal.
