Example No. 1: Propeller Pump
- simulation of a simplified depicted propeller pump
- pressure on pump blades (colours) and velocity vectors of flow
- computation of the flow rate based on the power of the pump (geometry, revolutions per minute) from the simulations by hydrograv hydrograv

Example No. 2: Pressure Distribution in a Pump
- pressure distribution in a pump that conveys raw sewage (horizontal sections)
|
| |
disadvantageous incident flow
-> non-uniform pressure distribution
|
incident flow optimised by hydrograv
-> uniform pressure distribution

Example No. 3: Pressure Fluctuations in a Pump Chamber
- pressure distribution and flow in a pump chamber (horizontal and vertical section)
- problem: periodic oscillations in pump sump
- optimisation of the construction's geometry by hydrograv
