PumpLinx: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Design Tool for Predicting Flow and Cavitation in Pumps, including: Axial / Centrifugal / Crescent / Gear / Gerotor / Lobe / Piston / Ring / Side Channel / and Vane Pumps. SimericsMP: General Purpose Multi-Physics CFD for modeling Heat, Flow and Cavitation, including Blowers, Fans, Mixers, Propellers, and Valves.
CRESCENT PUMP

Crescent Pump Design:

A Positive Displacement Pump (PDP) with one rotating gear set inside another, separated by a crescent shaped island .

Advantages:

Positive displacement, Good suction performance, Reduced pressure ripple.

Application:

Fluid transfer, hydraulics.

Crescent Pump Model
Crescent Pump Cavitation

PumpLinx: Solve Flows, Pressures, Cavitation, and Loads:

Discriminators:

  • Able to handle complex "island" geometry
  • Models cavitation
  • Accurate tip leakage
  • Superior treatment of rotating-stationary interfaces
  • Ease-of-use
  • Fast turn-around

Design Issues/Benefits:

  • Gear Design
  • Island Design
  • Port design
  • Leakage reduction
  • Reduce Cavitation effects on efficiency and pump life
  • Reduce Pressure ripple and noise
