Meanline performance models have a long history of use in the design of radial flow pumps and compressors. Most data used to create data correlations are based on point measurements such as static pressures and temperatures at walls. Occasionally, traverse measurements across the exit plane of a machine are performed. These point measurements, while very useful, do not provide details of specific flow characteristics internal to the machine.
This webinar will show that the specific details of the impeller inlet and exit flow fields required to generate an accurate prediction using the Two-Zone model can be extracted from steady-state RANS CFD. The Two-Zone model, developed by Dr. David Japikse and others, is a meanline model based on point measurements that enables prediction of machine performance.
