CASE STUDY
Simplified centrifugal pump simulation for precise results
With StrömungsRaum®, you can optimize the geometry of your centrifugal pumps and reduce the number of physical prototypes as well as iteration loops. Automated simulations and rapid design iterations enhance product quality, shorten development times, and lower costs – fostering a resource-efficient and future-oriented production.
Challenge
Increasingly complex requirements often require several prototype iterations before delivering a satisfactory result.
Solution Approach
With the StrömungsRaum® for centrifugal pumps, you simulate your centrifugal pumps in just 3 steps – you upload your housing and impeller variants, you combine different impellers/housings, and you define the operating points. Your data is automatically meshed by our system in an adaptive geometry manner, the calculation is started in the cloud, and the results are generated for you. Additional hardware/software or lengthy CFD training is not necessary. The adaptive geometry meshing leads to highly accurate results in a short computation time, and calculation on high-performance clusters allows for the simulation of numerous geometry variations to find the optimal geometry for you. With the automatic generation of evaluation reports, characteristic curves, and the possibility of deep-dive analysis in the 3D live viewer, all in the cloud, you can swiftly draw the right conclusions.
Advantages
Simulations of centrifugal pumps can be carried out fully automatically in the StrömungsRaum® without needing to significantly change the design methodology. Due to automation, various impeller and housing variations can be calculated in parallel. Ultimately, only the manufacturing of the final simulated prototype is necessary; countless iteration loops in reality, but also over weeks in simulation, become a thing of the past due to this parallelity. Additionally, as a company, you have more time for upcoming daily tasks and do not need to tie your employees to setting up and running simulations on expensive hardware for hours – the StrömungsRaum® does that for you.

Benefit
By utilizing advanced simulation solutions, valuable resources can be saved - this includes not only materials for prototype manufacturing but also time and energy that would be required for real test runs. Companies that rely on innovative simulation technologies can also secure important competitive advantages: Higher energy efficiency and better product quality allow them to always stay one step ahead of the competition. Furthermore, digital simulations open up new possibilities for greater innovation by allowing variations that wouldn't be feasible in the physical world, and all in a fraction of the time!
“StrömungsRaum® is highly automated, meaning no special calculation or CFD knowledge is required. In fact, the 3D model is computed within the tool and generated via parameters, and the reporting is so fully automated that it results in a well-readable report.” - Mikael Tekneyan
