How to make performance map of an impeller

      Hey Guys!
      How are you doing?

      Well, I've been designing an impeller,
      Kindly consider me as a beginner throughout the conversation.

      Now I am trying to generate a performance map {nominal mass flow rate v/s pressure ratio} of the impeller to know the operational range. 
      However, I've gone through the Ansys documentation & YouTube but found no tutorial. 

      If there are already some tutorials, please provide me with any references.
      In case of unavailability, we can continue with the threat. 
      But I don't have any clue how to start.

      It would be warmly appreciated if any replies.

      Sending positive vibes!

      Hi!

      this example is not specific to an impeller case but shows how to conduct a parametric study in Fluent and create relevant reports for each design point. Chapter 9: Performing Parametric Analyses in Ansys Fluent

      I believe this could at least get you started!

        Thank you so much Frederico for replying to me!

        After watching this tutorial, I can say "This can get me started!"

        but I have some doubts:

        1. His input parameters are {inlet_temp and inlet_velo}, output parameter is {outlet_temp}, which is not time dependent.
          In my case, My input parameters are {speed} and output parameters are {pressure ratio, mass flow rate}, which is time dependent.

          POV: If I am wrong anywhere please correct me and if there is another method please tell me.

        2. My analysis is going to be transient. I cannot afford high computational costs. so how can I reduce it?

          POV:  I run the steady simulation for 3 hours with 1000 iterations and transient simulation for one and a half hours with 200 time steps with 5 sub-iterations.

        Sending positive vibes... Again!
