Week 3 Challenge : CFD meshing on

Turbocharger

Objective:
For the given model, check for the geometrical errors to make appropriate volumes.
Create and assign PIDs as shown in the video. Perform surface mesh with the given
target lengths as per PIDs.

1. Blade stage-1 = 1 mm
2. Blade stage-2 = 1 mm
3. Impeller = 2 mm
4. Shaft rotor = 1 mm
5. Turbo casing = 5 mm
6. Compressor casing = 5 mm
7. Inlet casing cover = 5 mm

Perform Volumetric mesh for the required volumes as shown in the videos.
Write a detailed report on your surface meshing & Volume meshing process.

Steps on ANSA:

1. Importing the geometry into ANSA

we have learned about volumetric meshing. Now in this challenge, the main purpose is: Topo
cleanup then surface meshing then control volume extraction then volumetric meshing.

1. Now checking for pids


Now checking overlapping surfaces by using Topo in PID mode
We need to find out the correct cross edges of surfaces that are not required here and then delete
them

2. Will do first topo cleanup on a very raw model. We can notice here that so many surfaces are
missing and also we can check the geometry from check window

We observe that a lot of topology errors i.e. single, triple cons and glitching surfaces are present
in the model.
After releasing the triple con we did topo

single cons poresent now we will apply topo to get triple con here
Now will resolve triple coon. Middle clicks and all

isolate the surfaces next to


triple coon
its not error

1 by 1 need to hide adjacent surfaces clicking on dotted lines ie cross edge


Since total 4 cross edges means 2 surfaces are overlapping

green edges surface is selected to delete.


Similarly delete 2nd surface also

surfaces that make 1 n 2


volumes separate are deleted. Do same for 2 n 3
similarly for these

Checking one by one for so many cons in detail and also the errors associated with them

release(converts 1 triple coons into 2 double coons and 1 double coons into 2 single coons) and
topo(2 double coons into 1 triple coon and 2 single coons into 1double coon) are opposite in work

there is a crack between surfaces

using new face of fitted type it got resolved

Releasing the cons into double then single cons


3. Now will volumetric meshing n for this we need to check geometry is closed means no hole
errors or extra surface or cons
Need to close this hole

Middle click will make it closed


again make it closed

this also

we can see
holes here
For every region do the same

this also
4. Defining the PIDs:

4new pids got created


to delete forcefully

Select and delete


is not an error as 2 triple cons are need to join 3 surfaces
5. FVM:

Volumetric mesh is done after defining surface mesh


We have 6 faces that are not getting meshed

Its because of neighbouring PIDs mesh size differences

We can solve this problem by meshing the PIDs that are direct in contact with neighbor different
sized meshes without applying length option to perimeters and macros
We can see the transition on both end edges
But inner surfaces of previous 2 surfaces not meshed so hide and check along with overlapping
surfaces
Meshing on 2D called shell and we need to convert shells into 3D ie Volume mesh

VOLUMETRIC MESHING:

by default ansa has detected 7 volumes ie closed geometries

We have to take care of which volumes are needed means fluid will flow through that and which are
not needed. It means the volume must have some thickness

we will keep 3 volumes only and delete others as they are material(parent geometry) ie thickness vol
not flow volume
right click and remesh

all 3 volumes got volumetric meshed


we can see some glitches as geometry and

geometry volume were turned on.. turn them off

Conclusions:

1. The errors like single, double and triple cons are checked and resolved
2. PIDs are assigned to different parts of geometry
3. surfaces are generated with the given target mesh lengths. Then volumetric meshing is
performed for the volumed required successfully.
