In this session, we will go over some best practices for using the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software to simulate a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of the fluid to move it through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller near the rotation axis and is accelerated by the impeller blades. The fluid then flows radially outward into the volute chamber, from where it exits into the piping system downstream. It is possible to model this centrifugal pump using the local Rotating Region option, discussed in this session.
