Abstract: The torque converter W305 was modeled in detail and the internal flow was computed using the program STAR-CD. To treat the interaction between various stages with different speeds, the mixing plane model was used in the calculation. Based on the numerical results, the internal flow field was analyzed with the emphasis on flow loss. The analysis is very valuable for torque converter design. The comparison between calculation and test data shows that the numerical analysis is sufficiently precise.

Key words: hydromachine and hydrodynamic engineering, torque converter, flow numerical analysis, mixing plane model
