check mesh in general (report quality = smaller is better (best 1))
1 choose steady 2 then setup gravity in z direction (-ve) 9.8 3 always choose pressure based if compression flow - density based 4 choose models 5 multiphase - air, fluid , vapor more than 1 phase 6 energy - temprature (if isothermal flow no energy) 7 viscous for turbulance (eg turbulant fluid) * inviscid - no viscous, barnauli eq. * laminar - flow in layer (creeping flow) * spalart-allmaras ( 1 eq) click help ............. READ : k-epsilon, large eddy 8 choose std. and std wall function (simple), choose full buoyancy, rest default value UDF (user defined function) : none * radiation = off (not accurate, but in solar, or fire we do radiation) * species = contaminants, smoke, gas etc) ..... ..... ..... ..... 9 MATERIAL : create/edit material * density is important (study boussinesq and others) keep rest constant 10 cell zone condition : * operation pressure .. read.. choose gavity and temp. select all 3 including specific operating density 11 Boundry condition * do seperate wall or combine in geometry * inlet velocity = homework (setup velocity magnitude also in homework in turb ulance, k and epsilon is given 1.25 X 10^-3 * thermal = in homework 15 * outlet = pressure outlet (gauge pressure 0) try changing it * in some case we have 2 out,some opening becomes in unless we define velocity out, so backflow is getting in so normal to boundry. avoid backflow * choose normal .... now put some no. (1) in turbulence .... AVOID BACKFLOW 12 wall (use help) * convection * wall thickness 13 Dynamic mesh : for moving 14 Reference values : default (study) SLOUTION 1 Choose simple (click help) * keep default 2 Solution control - keep default (keep pressure + momentum = 1) 3 monitors : residual edit : print and plot on, convergence value set to small n umber 4 5 Calculation activities : autosave every (.....) 6 file--- write---autosave--- 7 Run calculation 8 SURFACE - ISO SURFACE - MESH - X-COORDINATE - ISO VALUE 1 - NEW SURFACE NAME -
