Diaphragm Pump CFD Simulation, ANSYS Fluent Training

This project is related to the numerical simulation of the Diaphragm Pump using ANSYS Fluent software. A pump is a mechanical device for moving and transferring all liquids from one place to another. The pump takes mechanical energy from an external source, such as a motor, and transfers it to the fluid passing through it. As a result, the energy of the fluid increases after leaving the pump.

The energy transfer to the pump fluid is done in two dynamic and displacement methods. Therefore, pumps are divided into positive displacement pumps and dynamic or non-positive displacement pumps. Positive displacement pumps are divided into two groups: rotary (such as gear, lobe, and vane) and reciprocating (piston and diaphragm).

A diaphragm pump is one of the pumps to increase the hydraulic power of a fluid. Diaphragm pumps use a composite membrane, which flexes up-down over a water flow.

The pump membrane has an up-and-down reciprocating motion. When the membrane moves up, the liquid flow is sucked from the intake valve, and when the membrane moves down, the liquid flow is pushed towards the outlet valve.

The problem numerically simulates the Diaphragm Pump using ANSYS Fluent software.
We design the 2-D model with the Design Modeler software.
We mesh the model with ANSYS Meshing software; the element number equals 222,986.
We perform this simulation as unsteady (Transient).
We use the Dynamic Mesh Model to define deforming and moving zones.
We use the user-defined function (UDF) to define the reciprocating motion.
