From pumps and turbines to mixers and medical devices, accurate simulation is critical to performance. SimuTech Group leverages the power of Ansys CFD software and decades of engineering experience to help your team model, analyze, and optimize complex rotating systems faster and with greater confidence.
Ansys has a dedicated suite of software to help design and simulate rotating machinery applications. Such applications include pumps, fans, compressors and turbines, and also extend to mixing tanks and electrical motor cooling. Moreover, we are not limited to single rotating components, but can simulate multiple rotating and stationary components within a single stage, and even multi-stage machines. With a long history of validated use, we can be confident in the accuracy of these simulations using Ansys CFD software.
At SimuTech we have expertise in these applications and can help you capture the performance of your rotating equipment designs. Along with Ansys’s industry leading CFD solver technology, the turbo machinery specific pre and post processing allows you to easily create, visualize, and quantify design performance.
Common industries supported include:
Predicted the hydraulic performance, flow residence time, and relative hemolysis levels. Moreover, in-depth testing of a centrifugal blood pump over intended range of use. Tests including, incorporated cross Non-Newtonian blood viscosity, and Eulerian-based hemolysis generation models.
Modeled the turbulent, single, and multiphase flow conditions in several electric submersible pumps using the advanced multiple frames of reference models in Ansys CFX to improve the pump’s performance.
Served as the technical lead on projects for each the government and the private sector, requiring precise assessments of rotating machinery’s rotordynamics, bearings, vibration, stress, and life prediction.
In comparison to centrifugal fans of comparable capacity, axial fans are more compact and have less rotational mass. Consequently, our team evaluated the effectiveness of different geometric fan design changes for a turbulent compressible application.
A defense-focused liquid hydrogen turbopump and a recently announced first stage turbine blisk were the subjects of rotordynamic analyses on cryogenic turbopumps. Advanced vibration assessments on turbomachinery blading that were performed, guided, and presented to the client.
Calculated the species transportation and mixing time. Simulation included transient turbulent impeller-stirred bioreactor tank with different injection scenarios.
Involved in conceptual design, manufacture, configuration analysis, and field problem investigation on rotating engine components for commercial turbofan and turboprop engines were defined, coordinated, directed, and assessed.
Providing extensive vibration analysis and testing, machine design, finite element analysis, rolling element and fluid film bearing design and analysis, and advanced fatigue life forecasting.
Predicted the underwater turbine performance and the impact of the transient vortex shedding on the structural support.
The SimuTech CFD engineering team is highly experienced in modeling rotating machinery. We’ve completed projects across a broad range of applications, including centrifugal and axial pumps, fans, gas turbines, rotary mixers, and wind turbines. Our engineers routinely use Ansys CFD tools to help customers understand, evaluate, and, when necessary, redesign products through advanced rotating machinery simulations and analysis. In many cases, the insights gained through simulation are invaluable and difficult to replicate with physical testing alone.
