Volutes

GridPro meshes enable fast, efficient, and precise volute computations for 3D thermal and fluid analysis.

Design engineers of volutes have to:

Know the fluid behaviour in the volutes, and spot areas of recirculation, separation, or turbulence.

Identify regions of high and low pressure, crucial for design improvements.
Assess heat transfer characteristics of the design, to ensure volutes meet the thermal requirements.
Calculate performance metrics such as efficiency and pressure rise, aiding in meeting design specifications.
Establish which geometric parameters influence the volute performance and come up with the most efficient configurations.

Iterative, auto mesh-quality checking in GridPro minimizes skewed or stretched cells.

Robust boundary layer clustering enforces cell orthogonality, ensuring solver stability and accuracy.

Flow-aligned block layout enables enhanced accuracy and convergence in regions with flow separation, turbulence, or cavitation.

Flexible topology facilitates easy accommodation of changes in the geometry or design parameters.

Enrichment – for local refinement of flow physics such as shocks, flow separation, etc.
Nesting – Another tool for local refinement of prominent flow features such as shocks and flow separation.
BL clustering – for fully resolving the boundary layer region adjacent to the wall for viscous simulations.
