Numerical simulation and PIV measurement of the flow-field in optical disc drives

Abstract: A system of numerical flow simulation with an automated mesh generator and parallelized solver was developed and applied to the flow-field inside an optical disc drive. In this simulation system, a uniformly spaced Cartesian grid is used to reduce time and automatically generate a mesh from CAD data for complicated geometries, such as optical disc drives. The simulation results of optical disc drives are validated by particle image velocimetry (PIV) and pressure-distribution measurements. The measured velocity… Show more
