Analysis of the Full Flow Field of Torque Converter

Abstract

Establish the full three-dimensional flow model of the torque converter, proper mesh the model, select the appropriate boundary conditions, and use the sliding mesh method to deal with the interactions of the impeller, turbine, and reactor in different rotation speeds. Analysis the flow rate, pressure, and the loss of full flow field passage of the torque converter, elaborate the formation mechanism of the flow field, agreement with the experimental date compare to the calculated data, more accurate than the traditional single passage model compare to the full passage model, provide the direction of design optimization of the torque converter.
