"Hydraulic Tank Optimisation"

Design Innovation Through High-Fidelity Simulations

Determining a better structural design for engineering systems is a never-ending problem. It is imperative to explore all possible dimensions of associated physics for the best design solution to realize the reliable operation while maintaining structural integrity. The effectiveness of virtual engineering, including computer simulations in this context, has been demonstrated in several applications, thanks to high-performance computing capabilities.

One such example is the design of hydraulic tanks, which receive foreign matter of different physical and chemical properties through the return line flow.

In this research report, Jagan Gorle Ph.D., Principal R&D Engineer at the Hydraulic & Industrial Process Division of Parker Hannifin Finland, discusses the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to model alternative scenarios showing the impact of design variations on a typical hydraulic tank. 

The case study presented in this document shows how the computer simulations could be used as design instruments where the explicit models of fluid and structural mechanics are critical to drawing scientific conclusions. Such virtual reality offers much faster and cheaper of several orders of magnitude than conventional prototyping and testing. In addition, these simulations also suggest suitable materials, appropriate tolerances and adequate manufacturing methods that would lead to the efficient management of engineering resources.
