CFD-FEA Modeling for Peristaltic Pump

Understanding the interaction between rollers and tubing is critical for efficient peristaltic pump operation. At Tridiagonal Solutions, we leveraged non-linear structural (FEA) and CFD simulations to capture tubing deformation, pinch points, and fluid flow behavior. 

Through Design of Experiments (DoE), we characterized the operational space across varying fluid properties, RPMs, and tubing sizes. The study highlights tubing stress distribution, displacement, and flow dynamics, enabling engineers to make informed design and operational decisions.
