Francis Turbine CFD & FEA + FSI benchmark 

TCAE  – the ultimate simulation software for engineers and researchers! A comprehensive simulation environment, based on open source, offers a wide range of analysis capabilities, including CFD, FEA, FSI, and modal analysis.

The following study focuses on the analysis of a Francis turbine, one of the most widely used hydro turbines in the world. This complex analysis takes you step-by-step through the entire simulation process, from preprocessing to advanced CFD & FEA simulations. The study also includes FSI and modal analysis, providing a complete understanding of the turbine's behavior under various operating conditions.

TCAE was used for this analysis, offering users a robust simulation environment with a user-friendly interface. With TCAE, engineers and researchers can easily simulate complex systems and processes, gaining valuable insights into their behavior.

The Francis turbine CFD & FEA + FSI benchmark presented in this study is a validation of a real existing turbine, providing accurate results that can be used for further optimization and improvement. Whether you're working in the energy industry or researching new technologies, TCAE is the perfect simulation software for your needs.

Hi, I am trying to use TCFD for distributed computing on the high performance computing platform of my own department. This platform uses slurm as the job scheduling system. When I use the command: `srun -n 127 -N 10 -p normal redDyMSolver -rotatingVelocityFields -parallel`, the error shown in the picture occurs.

I am not sure if it is a problem with the high performance computing platform or with TCFD. Can anyone help me?

Or is there any other way for me to perform distributed computing with TCFD on the high performance computing platform?

Our team at CFDSUPPORT believes that success in engineering projects is the result of a combination of focus, skills, experience, patience, and dedication, rather than quick actions in a rush. To ensure accuracy, CFDSUPPORT regularly tracks and compares CFD results with real-world physical measurements. An example of our commitment to accuracy is the Centrifugal Compressor Benchmark project. This project was a collaboration between CFDSUPPORT and compressor manufacturer CZ a.s. The goal of the benchmark validation was to assess the accuracy of the TCFD software and compare its simulation results with actual compressor measurement data. By continuously striving for accuracy, CFDSUPPORT and its partners are able to deliver more reliable and trustworthy results for their clients.

Axial Turbine Stage - test topic. Axial Turbine Stage CFD. It is hard not to be emotional when seeing an axial turbine stage CFD. The axial turbine stage was our first big CFD project made here at CFDSUPPORT. In a way, it had preset our destiny - turbomachinery simulations. Here is a little example of how now, ten years later, TCAE runs the whole complex process in one command (or click). By TCFD: https://www.cfdsupport.com/axial-turbine-cfd-simulation.html

Dear Team, 

I am trying to run a simulation of the FDA Benchmark Blood Pump case with TCAE. I am using my meshes that I have generated by myself (not via TMESH). 

The project case setup seems to be fine, and I get the message "Project Setup OK" upon checking. However, when I start the TCFD run, I get the following error message after a while - 

"--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Cannot open include file "C:/Users/KaranBaliga/Desktop/TCAE/GridPro Blood Pump/Fluent_Grids_GridPro/GridPro_Blood_Pump/simulationRun1/TCFD/transient/1_1/system/hi.fun" while reading dictionary "C:/Users/KaranBaliga/Desktop/TCAE/GridPro Blood Pump/Fluent_Grids_GridPro/GridPro_Blood_Pump/simulationRun1/TCFD/transient/1_1/system/controlDict/functions"

From function static bool Foam::functionEntries::includeEntry::execute(Foam::dictionary&, Foam::Istream&)

in file db/dictionary/functionEntries/includeEntry/includeEntry.C at line 169.

FOAM exiting"

I do not know why this error occurs. Can you please help me out?

If required I can attach the case files as well. 

Thanks and Regards,

Magnus Effect - A phenomenon that is commonly associated with a spinning object moving through the air. Compared to the non-spinning object, the spinning one produces a significant lift force. We tested this phenomenon in the study of the aerodynamics of rotating and non-rotating balls with TCFD back in 2016.

An exhaust manifold is an important part of every combustion engine that collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The gas flow in the manifold can be extensively analyzed and optimized by CFD analysis. Have a look at an example of an aerodynamic analysis of exhaust manifold simulation by TCFD. https://youtu.be/EIn2oUIX6VM

As you know, at CFDSUPPORT, we are obsessed with the accuracy of CFD results. Accuracy is our highest priority. We believe that every successful engineering project is a result of focus, skills, experience, patience, and dedication (not random actions in a rush). We constantly keep tracking the accuracy and create comparisons of CFD with real physical measurements. Have a look at this Centrifugal Compressor Benchmark. This project was undertaken jointly by CFDSUPPORT in collaboration with CZ a.s. (compressor manufacturer). The aim of the benchmark validation was to evaluate the TCFD software and compare its simulation results with the compressor measurement data.
