Study of a High-Pressure External Gear Pump with a Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling Approach

A study on the internal fluid dynamic of a high-pressure external gear pump is described in this paper. The pump has been analyzed with both numerical and experimental techniques. Starting from a geometry of the pump, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been built up usi...
