Abstract
This paper describes a simulation procedure to calculate a torque converter performance. The study focuses the validity of a solution and the handiness of the procedure. A comparison of the numerical solution and the experimental solution proves the model validity. Moreover, handiness is achieved by using commercial code with automatic unstructured mesh generating techniques. With suggested procedure, a complete analysis is carried out relatively fast. And an steady state interaction can be analyzed between three moving elements.
