Hello,
As part of my final year project I am to run a CFD analysis of a pump impeller. I have been provided with the impeller and diffuser CAD models and successfully imported these into gambit. However, after completing a number of the gambit tutorials I still have no experience in meshing such a complex geometry and am struggling with which steps I should take to begin.
I do not believe the model can be simplified using symmetry due to the relationship of the number of impeller vanes to the number of diffuser vanes.
Can anyone provide any advice on how to begin the meshing process?
Thank you!
