Simulation of the Filling Capability in Vane Pumps

In positive displacement pumps, the main volumetric loss at high speed is due to the incomplete filling of the variable volume chambers. The prediction of the limit speed and of the maximum flow rate delivered by a pump can be obtained only through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, sin...
