CFD Meshing of Axial Turbine

Altair Forum User

Hi there, I am a student working on the pre processing part of CFD analysis of Francis type turbine. I have created the 3D geometry(assembly) in Solid Works(I have 4 main parts namely, the Volute, Guide vanes, Impeller and Diffuser). These are simplified geometries, meaning I have removed all holes or gaps and have a 3D solid model with 4 main parts. I wish to export this model to hypermesh, but need help on how to set up the model. I can individually load the model and mesh it, but I am facing difficulty if I load the complete assembly.

Hence I want to know if I can mesh all the components separately and then assemble the meshed geometries in one hypermesh file. Also, since the impeller is rotating, how do I impose sliding mesh condition in this case?.

I want to get started as soon as possible as there a no Tuitorials of such kind for CFD meshing in Hypermesh. Any information will be useful to get started off.

Thanks

Hi,

 

You can use Hypermesh for CFD meshing.Even we have 7-8 tutorial available for Hypermesh for CFD meshing.(Screenchot attached in thumbnail)

file:///C:/Program%20Files/Altair/13.0/help/engsol/engsol.htm?cfd_meshing_tutorials.htm    (Link for Hm for CFD meshing)

Please download the sliding mesh tutorial from the link below:-
