New Video for Volute Modeling

We have a new video that gives you a very brief intro­duc­tion to the basic concept of volute modeling in CAESES®. The main idea is that, first of all, a 2D cross section is para­me­ter­ized by the user. Any kind of 2D section is possible, there are no lim­i­ta­tions. The final custom section from a user with indi­vid­ual 2D para­me­ters is then swept in cir­cum­fer­en­tial direc­tion. For each 2D para­me­ter, you can create a smart function graph in CAESES®, for instance, for the A/R para­me­ter (this is a typical para­me­ter in the volute modeling context) or circular fillets etc. Such a function graph provides an intu­itive control and makes the entire volute highly effi­cient. Actually, it reduces the degrees of freedom within auto­mated design studies and shape opti­miza­tion, while giving a CFD engineer exactly the controls that are needed from a flow and per­for­mance point of view.

If you have a specific cross-section def­i­n­i­tion where you might need assis­tance in setting up a 3D volute model with CAESES®, then just get in touch with us. We have a lot of expe­ri­ence with intel­li­gent volute models that are exclu­sively made for CFD engi­neers, e.g. designed with a closed and water­tight surface rep­re­sen­ta­tion, 100% robust, ready for meshing and sim­u­la­tion.
