Hi everyone,
I am working on the simulation of the centrifugal pump. The problem is that i have speed of pump N=2900 RPM and i want to calculate the torque required by the pump for different discharge. Somebody please help me. its urgent b'coz i have to submit my thesis soon. |

you can use function objects in controlDict file which can calculate the forces and torques at the patch required.
Code:
functions { forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); patches (rotor); rhoName rhoInf; rhoInf 1.0; // need to multiply result with your assumed density in kg/m3 in order to get N m CofR (0 0 0); //Origin for moment calculations outputControl outputTime; outputInterval 1; } } But I am not sure it works for you or not. Let me know if it helps and give you reasonable results All the best |
