Torbopump CFD

I need help with the set up in the subsonic



Is the direction of the arrows for the turns correct?

Second, I have boundary condition static pressure 25bar because the liquid hydrogen got out from a inducer. Is it right ?

Hi @vtsich, thanks for the post on the forum :slight_smile:

Please make sure to add a link to your project and share it with support! Many thanks

Hello, do you mean this URL?

Hi @vtsich, yes! Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

I am sorry for the delay

I’m sure I made a mistake not setting a weight. But I don’t know what value to put.

These results aren’t right.

Hi @vtsich,

I’ve been taking a look at the solution fields of your completed run and they indeed seem a bit odd. However, I see that you’re trying to apply a non-usual fluid and a really high flow rate. As a sidenote, wouldn’t temperature be a relevant variable in this case due to the liquid nitrogen? For that you’d have to set the “Compressible” option to “on”.

Besides that, your mesh seems to be really coarse:

My advise would be for you to run one or two tutorials before getting started with your own simulation - so that you get used to working with the platform!

What about this one:

Then, you should be able to see some problems in your own setup and we can discuss further questions :slight_smile:

Hello again. Thank you very much for your help. In my case the density is constant. The temperature is -255C because I have hydrigen in cryogenic condition. Ι have seen video of simscale that subsonic flow is food for pumps with very high flow.But I will try it with the compressible. I have three questions yet.

  1. Is entropy used as data in the subsonic for calculations? Because the liquid hydrogen was made from me and I haven’t changed the entropy and number Prt.

2)Before I run the program , I had seen a messege which
i had seen a message saying that Ι didn’t set g gravity. You may get wrong results. But I didn’t know what price to put.

  1. I am going to download my project again but it will be completed (with a inducer) this time. Do I need to create a new API key or can I import the project with the same key ?

Sorry to ask such boring questions but it is important

My geometry is exported from CFturbo program.

Hi again @vtsich,

As to your questions

  • If you set the "Compressible option " temperature effects will be included in Subsonic. Entropy is generally not considered in the equations used (to my knowledge). We’re veryfying with the developing team
  • You should insert the acceleration of gravity. The standard value \mathrm{9.81 \; m/s^2} usually works!
  • You can use the same key :slight_smile:

Does that help?

Best,
Igor

Thank you very much!

You’re welcome @vtsich :slight_smile:

Hi @vtsich, here is the input from the dev team I promised:

There is no entropy equation in Simerics. There is only the Energy Equation, with various different physical models in play.

Hello again. I am sorry to bother.I have a very specific question. Ι I have a stator in my model which has a sphere. I want to rotate it. I’ll define it as rotating wall. Before I can this step , is it necessary to put material solid or or not necessary. I send photo.


Hi @vtsich, could you kindly make a new forum post with your question - we need to keep one topic per forum post :slight_smile:

Don’t forget to post the URL to your project over there again!

Best,
Igor

Of course
