[Analysis Case] Transient Flow Analysis of Vane Pumps
By utilizing the PumpLinx simulator for pump transient flow characteristics, smooth flow analysis within the vane pump can be conducted.
PumpLinx has mesh templates for various types of pumps. By using templates tailored to the specific pump type being analyzed, the time and effort typically spent on mesh generation for fluid analysis of standard pumps can be significantly reduced and streamlined. For example, even for complex mechanisms like vane pumps, optimal meshes for analysis can be quickly and automatically generated by setting parameters such as the number of vanes based on 3D CAD data. Additionally, the integrated GUI allows for smooth handling of operations such as mesh generation, setting analysis conditions, executing calculations, and displaying results all on a single screen, making the analysis easier and faster. Furthermore, many volumetric pumps, including internal gear pumps, may experience cavitation during the operating cycle. PumpLinx supports cavitation analysis through the adoption of high-precision cavitation models and cavitation damage models.
