Impeller Design for Vaccum Suction

About this project

This project is for Hackathon 2024 in BGSW India.The challenge here is to create a micro mouse that can move on a vertical maze. In order to stick the mouse to the maze, a vacuum has to be created while the bot is traversing the maze.And the vacuum is created by a rotating impeller. The Simulation of this rotating impeller is being carried out in this project.The main aim of this simulation is to check which blade geometry create how much negative pressure gradient at certain rpm and also how Power and Torque is required for it to maintain the pressure gradient.
