Optimal meshes for your Turbomachinery Simulations!
Accurately capture your complex geometry and components using our beautiful meshes.
Structured meshes remain a popular choice for turbomachinery CFD. It offers unparalleled advantages. Its meticulous grid alignment with the flow paths enhances accuracy, capturing complex effects in rotor-stator interactions with high precision.
Multi-block structured meshes significantly reduce numerical diffusion, maintaining the integrity of solution quality across the computational domain. By optimizing the mesh density in critical areas, it ensures detailed resolution where it’s most needed, without increasing the computational costs.
Gas Turbines
By
employing a structured grid framework, you can be assured of an
accurate representation of the flow gradients in the boundary layer
and a detailed portrayal of secondary flows and blade-to-blade
interactions.
Grid blocks can be strategically aligned with
predominant flow directions, enhancing the accurate depiction of
overall flow patterns, trends, and phenomena such as flow separation
and vortices.
Heat Transfer Analysis: Cooling Holes
Meshing multiple cooling holes is a challenge for any grid generator. You can tackle this meshing challenge with GridPro's innovative tool called the 'Hole-Topology’. The algorithm streamlines the block creation process around multiple holes and pipes. It identifies hole shapes - circular or elliptical shapes and generates blocks accordingly and interconnects them. With this blocking option, you can bring down the cooling holes' meshing time significantly, transforming what used to take days into a matter of minutes.
Volute
GridPro meshes enable fast, efficient, and precise volute computations for 3D thermal and fluid analysis.
Accuracy and Convergence
Flow-aligned block layout enables enhanced accuracy and convergence in regions with flow separation, turbulence, or cavitation.
High Mesh Quality
Iterative, auto mesh-quality checking in GridPro minimizes skewed or stretched cells.
