App Description

The application builds upon Ansys Flagship Fluent Multiphase solver to ensure higher fidelity and accuracy. Increased simulation speed is delivered through a novel Virtual Teeth method. The combination of both technologies lead to a staggering increase in computational speed compared with traditional Finite Volume methods, while accounting for all the physics and preserving fundamental accuracy

Key Benefits

Highly automated end-to-end workflow, with the option to deliver a ready-to-run Ansys Fluent case for further customization
Over 100x speed increase with respect to general Finite Volume methods
Reliable physics prediction by leveraging Ansys Fluent solver for both sloshing and thermal simulations
Ability to solve all low, mid and high RPM gearbox applications
Naturally accounts for two-phase flow interaction, including the air effects on oil splashing

Use Cases

The following use cases are supported by the application

Unlimited number of gears
Different gear topologies (spur, helical, bevel, etc.)
Sloshing simulation, including flow path, flow morphology and power losses
Thermal analysis (cooling) with solids
Parametric analysis
- Variable RPMs
- Variable oil properties
- Variable gravity acceleration
Possibility to include additional Ansys Fluent models (i.e. DPM, evaporation, material property variation, etc.)
