FSI Modeling of a Fluid Film Bearing for Energy Applications

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to setup an FSI bearing model with Ansys CFX and Mechanical

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

Many turbomachinery applications utilize fluid film bearings to support the rotor during operation, including gas and steam turbines. Utilizing fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation provides an attractive option for understanding the performance of the fluid film bearing as flow mechanics, deformation and rotor displacement all play an important role.
