A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device designed to move a fluid by means of the transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is cast out by centrifugal force along its circumference through the impeller’s vane tips. The action of the impeller increases the fluid’s velocity and pressure and also directs it towards the pump outlet. The pump casing is specially designed to constrict the fluid from the pump inlet, direct it into the impeller and then slow and control the fluid before discharge.t.
In this tutorial you will learn to simulate the cavitation in a centrifugal pump using Ansys Fluent. You can download the mesh from this link.
Ansys Fluent – Elbow 2D (Steady & Transient Simulation)
Pipe Fittings are Piping component that helps in Changes the direction of the flow such as elbows, tees. Changes the size of the pipe such as reducers, reducing tees.
Ansys Fluent – Fluidized Bed
A fluidized bed is a physical phenomenon occurring when a quantity of a solid particulate substance (usually present in a holding vessel) is placed under appropriate conditions to cause a solid/fluid mixture to behave as a fluid.
We share the same tutorial using ANSYS CFX.

OpenFOAM vs ANSYS CFX
OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations.
OpenFOAM – Units
In continuum mechanics, properties are represented in some chosen units, e.g. mass in kilograms (kg \relax \special {t4ht=), volume in cubic metres ( 3 m \relax \special {t4ht=), pressure in Pascals ( −1 −2 kgm s \relax \special {t4ht=).
