I am a design engineer at Hamilton Sundstrand in Rockford, IL. I have a need to study the filling characteristics of a gear pump. This problem will require the CFD code to handle a deformable mesh. Are any of the commercial codes capable of modeling this type of pump??

Have a look at

www.beilke-cfd.de/rotary.mpg

The mesh there is not simply rotating but also otherwise deformed.

i have a positive displacement flow meter
i need to simulate the flow through rotary gear at different temperature
any body here can help me to get a model similar to my case study ?!

thanks for your efforts.

Go for CFX or Star-CCM+ Overset mesh.
