The present paper presents a fully automated
procedure for generating the inter-blade channel 3D
geometry for impeller, starting with the geometrical
data provided by the quasi- 3D code. The 3D
domain is generated in GAMBIT with a specialized
script, and then it is automatically discretized. All
inlet/outlet, solid and periodic boundaries are
specified for a standard topology of the inter-blade
channel. Although GAMBIT has a module, called
G-TURBO, specialized in turbomachinery analysis,
it has been found that for highly distorted
geometries specific to axial-radial machines the
results are not satisfactory. This is why we
developed an original procedure that successfully
addresses all geometrical particularities of
centrifugal pumps, Francis turbines, and pumpturbines.
The paper describes the implementation of
our procedure, and a few examples of 3D flow
analysis in impellers.
