2.5 Conclusion
Objective of the simulation: Al comparar ambos resultados (modelo isotrópico vs unidireccional) obtenidos mediantes
las tablas y las gráficas, podemos observar la diferencia entre las distribuciones de presiones (mas homogéneo el
modelo isotrópico) y obviamente las variaciones de las pérdidas de carga que se generan entre un medio y otro.
Como valoración personal, más que académica, puedo decir que voy tomando más práctica en la solicitación de
resultados, que uno pretende obtener del solid.
