SUMMARY

The discussion centers on meshing a turbine using Gambit, specifically addressing the challenges faced by users in defining the turbo profile and casing inlet. The user, Matt, seeks guidance on whether a shroud is necessary for the turbine model and how to select the appropriate vertices for the hub and casing inlet. The urgency of the request highlights the complexities involved in turbine meshing within Gambit, indicating a need for clear instructions and expert advice.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Gambit 2.4 for CAD modeling
  • Understanding of turbine design principles
  • Knowledge of mesh generation techniques
  • Experience with defining boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create turbo profiles in Gambit 2.4
  • Learn about defining casing inlets for turbine models
  • Explore best practices for meshing rotating equipment in CFD
  • Investigate the use of shrouds in turbine modeling and their impact on performance
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and designers involved in turbine modeling, CFD analysts, and anyone seeking to improve their skills in using Gambit for complex geometries.

meshing turbine in gambit ~~ urgent

Hi...
I would be very grateful if someone could help me to mesh the turbine in gambit. I have been struggling with this for the last whole week so desperately need help urgently.

I already have the model in gambit but I am not sure if this kind of problem is necessary to build a turbo profile or not and if it is so what is the casing inlet? I looked through the gambit tutorial but still don't understand which vertices need to select to hub and casing inlet. :confused:

Since I only have the turbine structure does that mean I need to build the shrouded to cover the whole turbine?

Thank you very very much in advance.

Have, you had any sucess with this yet? I have a friend who models this type of rotating equipment with Gambit, I can ask him for advice if you still need help.

Thanks
Matt
