Pump simulation with flow distribution

Avoid cavitation earlier with centrifugal pump simulation

Detect cavitation in pumps earlier, assess efficiency more precisely and select pump variants on a more reliable basis When developing centrifugal pumps, head, efficiency and operational reliability have to be evaluated at an early stage. Physical prototypes and test runs, however, often reveal only late in the process whether a design meets the requirements. StrömungsRaum® simulates the hydraulics of your centrifugal pump automatically. Pressure distributions, velocity fields, performance curves and cavitation risks become visible. This allows you to compare several casing and impeller variants earlier and to create a reliable basis for your next development decision.

Was alle Anwendungsbereiche gemeinsam haben

Cavitation in pumps and local pressure minima

Where does cavitation occur in the centrifugal pump and which regions do you need to examine more closely? Regions in which the local pressure falls below the vapour pressure can impair the reliability and performance of a centrifugal pump. The simulation shows in which regions cavitation risks arise and whether possible NPSH shortfalls need to be examined more closely. This allows you to evaluate measures for preventing cavitation as early as the development phase.

Efficiency and the key performance curves

How do head and efficiency develop? For a reliable pump design, considering a single operating point is usually not sufficient. What matters is how head, efficiency, power consumption and torque develop across the relevant operating points. StrömungsRaum® automatically generates the key performance curves. This allows you to assess the performance of your pump in a comprehensible way and to compare variants in a targeted manner.

Flow behaviour and forces

How does the pumped medium move through the pump and which forces arise in the process? Pressure distributions, velocity fields and wall shear stresses show how the pumped medium moves through the casing and impeller. In addition, the resulting forces in the axial and radial directions can be investigated. The radial forces help you to better interpret the hydraulic behaviour behind the performance indicators and to decide more specifically which geometry or which region should be investigated further. The axial forces are relevant above all for the bearing design.

From simulation to the next pump decision

IANUS takes care of the technical analysis. Your team decides which geometry is pursued further.

Füllsimulation Visual

Simulate automatically without your own CFD infrastructure

StrömungsRaum® automates the calculation of centrifugal pump hydraulics – from pre-processing through to post-processing. You upload your geometries, investigate different combinations and define the relevant operating points, without having to build up your own computing hardware or complex simulation workflows. In-depth CFD expertise is not required to get started either. This allows you to optimise your centrifugal pump, investigate more variants and deploy development resources where they make the greatest contribution.

Ergebnisse Visual

Evaluate performance indicators clearly

You receive detailed results and automatically generated performance curves for head, efficiency, power consumption, torque, resulting forces and cavitation. Graphical representations of pressure distributions, velocity fields and regions with a cavitation risk support you in interpreting the results. This turns a technical analysis into a comprehensible basis for the next decision in design engineering and development.
