Abstract

In the design process of high power density hydrodynamic torque converter, to resolve vane strength problem brought forward with the wide-range increase of rotating speed of pump wheel, a general method and its process of strength analysis of fluid solid interaction (FSI) field for hydrodynamic torque converter vanes were proposed by FSI technology and combining the flow field analysis of certain type of the vanes with its strength analysis. Accurate prediction of vane strength was realized by computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis numerical investigation, by which stress distribution and deformation of vanes were determined, and it also provided theoretical foundation for engineering design of cascade system of high power density torque converter.
