Design of Internal Helical Guide Ribs for Cylindrical Vortex Flow Chamber
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
Project Overview
We are developing a compact cylindrical chamber where fluid enters tangentially to create a strong vortex flow. The chamber currently produces rotational circulation, but we want to enhance the swirl strength and stability.
The goal of this project is to design internal helical guide ribs (swirl-inducing surfaces) along the inner wall of the chamber to improve fluid circulation and increase angular momentum in the vortex core.
We are seeking an engineer with experience in fluid mechanics and mechanical design to optimize the internal rib geometry.
System Description
Chamber type: cylindrical vortex chamber
Internal diameter: ~150 mm
Chamber height: ~200 mm
Material: PVC or similar plastic
Fluid: water
Flow type: tangential inlet jets generating vortex circulation
Scope of Work
The freelancer will:
Design internal helical ribs or guide surfaces that enhance swirl intensity.
Determine optimal parameters including:
rib angle / helix angle
rib height and thickness
number of ribs
axial spacing and rib length
Ensure ribs improve vortex formation without causing excessive turbulence or flow obstruction.
Provide design suitable for manufacturing or prototyping in plastic chambers.
Expected Deliverables
Technical concept for swirl-enhancing rib design
Dimensioned engineering sketches or CAD drawings
Optional CFD-based reasoning or analytical explanation of flow improvement
Preferred Skills
Fluid mechanics
vortex flow systems
cyclone separators or swirl chambers
CAD modeling (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / similar)
Experience with swirl-inducing geometries, cyclone chambers, or mixing devices is highly desirable.
Project Duration:
Approximately 1week
