Problem with an Axial Pump Impeller Mesh / Geometry - ANSYS CFX

davidvalladares · May 15, 2018, 13:40

Hi everyone. I have a medium level of experience in ANSYS CFX. My problem is with the geometry or the mesh.

I´m working with an axial flow pump impeller and diffuser. I imported the geometry from Autodesk Inventor and prepared in ANSYS Design Modeler. After that I meshed in ANSYS TurboGrid, no errors reported.

When I opened the CFX Pre there is a chamfer or a cone at the diffuser´s outlet, I came back and reviewed all the process and everythings seems to be ok, I have no idea of what´s going on with the mesh or the geometry.

Have you any idea of why is that happening?

Thanks for your time!

David

Can you post an image which clearly shows the chamfered edge you are talking about?
