Hello all,
I am trying to model a centrifugal pump in ANSYS Fluent. I have the impeller and casing modeled in Solidworks as you can see below: I really need general advice as this my first such task. Probably answer to below questions would be helpful: 1- I have made a circular pattern of complete pump and cut as seen above to reduce the size of geometry. My plan is have periodic boundary condition in the sides (cutting plane). Is this the way forward for this or something else can be done? 2- I can create only surface model of impeller (rather than body) and walls and periodic boundaries as well as create surfaces for inlet and outlet and export these surface model to ICEM. Is this right or I should keep the bodies? 3- How I should define rotation of impeller and also axis of rotation. Is there something to do in ICEM? Thanks. |
