| Axial Fan |
The analysis of axial fan is one of the most difficult analysis in the fluid
analysis since the blade's shape affects its performance drastically.
SC/Tetra's automatic mesh generator can complete preparing the data for computation in a few hours using CAD data even though a conventional CFD software requires a couple of weeks. SC/Tetra can calculate rotating blades using rotating boundary (ALE) function. In addition, SC/Tetra can calculate such a case as steady state problem using only blade's rotating force for quick analysis. |

| Sirocco Fan |
| SC/Tetra greatly reduces working hours of the sirocco fan's modeling as
well as the propeller fan. The transient analysis using the ALE function
(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian for moving and/or rotating boundaries) can
also be utilized besides the steady state analysis. |
 |
| Blower |
| A blower also fans fluid with rotating blades as well as other kinds of
fans. It can handle gases such as air and liquids like water. |
 |
| Turbofan (Turbine) |
| The shape and the number of blades greatly affect the performance of the turbofan. SC/Tetra can carry out many evaluation cases in short time since it is possible to build a model by changing only the rotating parts and its area. |
 |
| Voltek blower |
| The inside flow of a vortex blower, which can be used in both the positive
and reverse rotation modes, is quite unknown. Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) is useful for making a complicated flow visible and grasping its
feature. |
 |
| Mixed Flow Pump |
| In the case of pumps as well as the fans, the shape greatly affects its
performance. It is possible to set water as the fluid. |
 |
| Multi-Stage Pump |
The computing of fans and turbines tends to take a long time since it calculates the transient phenomenon that propellers or blades are rotating.
However, SC/Tetra has convenient functions such as axial symmetric condition, periodic boundary conditions and considering rotating force of a rotating object instead of simulating real rotation. These functions can greatly reduce the calculation time although the phenomena are kept as real as possible.
