Fluid dynamics project

Project Overview We are developing a compact cylindrical chamber where fluid enters tangentially to create a strong vortex flow. The chamber currently produces rotational circulation, but we want to enhance the swirl strength and stability. The goal of this project is to design internal helical guide ribs (swirl-inducing surfaces) along the inner wall of the chamber to improve fluid circulation and increase angular momentum in the vortex core. We are seeking an engineer with experience in fluid mechanics and mechanical design to optimize the internal rib geometry. System Description Chamber type: cylindrical vortex chamber Internal diameter: ~150 mm Chamber height: ~200 mm Material: PVC or similar plastic Fluid: water Flow type: tangential inlet jets generating vortex circulation Scope of Work The freelancer will: Design internal helical ribs or guide surfaces that enhance swirl intensity. Determine optimal parameters including: rib angle / helix angle rib height and thickness number of ribs axial spacing and rib length Ensure ribs improve vortex formation without causing excessive turbulence or flow obstruction. Provide design suitable for manufacturing or prototyping in plastic chambers. Expected Deliverables Technical concept for swirl-enhancing rib design Dimensioned engineering sketches or CAD drawings Optional CFD-based reasoning or analytical explanation of flow improvement Preferred Skills Fluid mechanics vortex flow systems cyclone separators or swirl chambers CAD modeling (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / similar) Experience with swirl-inducing geometries, cyclone chambers, or mixing devices is highly desirable. Project Duration: Approximately 1week Need CFD reports
