Tutorial 1a:

Simulating Flow in a Static

Mixer Using Workbench

Introduction
This tutorial simulates a static mixer consisting of two inlet pipes delivering water into a
mixing vessel; the water exits through an outlet pipe. A general workflow is established for
analyzing the flow of fluid into and out of a mixer.
This tutorial comprises:
• Before You Begin (p. 32)
• Tutorial 1a Features (p. 32)
• Overview of the Problem to Solve (p. 33)
• Defining a Simulation in ANSYS CFX-Pre (p. 34)
• Obtaining a Solution Using ANSYS CFX-Solver Manager (p. 41)
• Viewing the Results in ANSYS CFX-Post (p. 43)

If this is the first tutorial you are working with, it is important to review the following topics
before beginning:
• Setting the Working Directory (p. 1)
• Changing the Display Colors (p. 2)
To learn how to perform these tasks using CFX in Standalone mode, see Tutorial 1:
Simulating Flow in a Static Mixer Using CFX in Standalone Mode (p. 3 in "ANSYS CFX
Tutorials").
