Simerics Enhances CFD Simulation Software

Simerics has announced the release of Pumplinx Version 2.4. Pumplinx is a CFD simulation tool created especially for designers of pumps, motors, compressors, propellers and other fluid devices with rotating or sliding components. Starting with a 3D CAD design, Pumplinx enables the engineer to create a virtual test article and generate flow visualisation and engineering output as accurate as a full scale hardware test at a fraction of the time and cost, claims Simerics.

Pumplinx provides automated grid generation, a robust and accurate cavitation model, and same-day turnaround. It can be used to improve efficiency, minimise cavitation, control pressure ripple and reduce noise, added Simerics. The code is continually being developed to add new capability and templates for modelling a wide range of equipment.

New features in Pumplinx v2.4 include: bent axis piston pump template; cavitation damage model; 1D models for spool valves and pressure relief valves; orifice, filter and P-Q curve boundary conditions; lagrangian particle module for predicting the motion of liquid droplets and solid particles in a flow field; user expressions and tables for setting physical properties and boundary conditions; and animated streamlines for flow visualisation.
