CFD Analysis
Numerical simulation before drawing release — validates hydraulics and mechanical strength
ASME B73.1API 610
FB engineering validates each custom project with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for the hydraulics — simulating flow in impeller, volute and diffuser under real customer operating conditions — before releasing drawings to the casting supplier. This reduces shop floor iteration and provides performance predictability to the design, ensuring that the final hydraulic bench test only confirms what the simulation already indicated.
FB Advantage
Brazilian manufacturer engineering custom pumps starting from already-normalized and tested FBCN hydraulics — lower technical risk, shorter lead time and traceability from cast heat to in-house hydraulic bench test.

FB engineering validates each custom project with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for the hydraulics — simulating flow in impeller, volute and diffuser under real customer operating conditions — before releasing drawings to the casting supplier. This reduces shop floor iteration and provides performance predictability to the design, ensuring that the final hydraulic bench test only confirms what the simulation already indicated.
CFD Analysis is an integral part of FB Bombas engineering flow. No custom project is executed without this step — it is what ensures performance predictability and compliance with ASME B73.1, API 610.
Time depends on project complexity. Simple steps are a matter of days; complex projects (new impeller geometry in special material) can require weeks. Specific schedule is presented in the commercial proposal.
Yes. Complete reports accompany final technical documentation — including CFD simulation images or hydraulic bench test reports per scope.
100% in-house at FB Bombas. Our engineering team and test bench in Cabreúva/SP execute all steps — no dependency on external consultancies.
ASME B73.1, API 610. Our technical documentation always references the applicable standard for test or analysis scope.
Yes. In retrofit of other manufacturers' pumps, CFD Analysis is essential to validate that redesigned parts meet the new operating point before manufacturing.
On request, customers can attend bench tests in person at our Cabreúva plant. For CFD analyses, we share reports with technical discussion via video conference.
