Objective In the project, we simulate isentropic flow through a quasi 1D supersonic converging-diverging nozzle using the MacCormack method and adaptive time steps. The simulation is done and analysed for both the conservation and the non-conservation forms of the governing equations. Specifically, the following analyses…

Objective This project drills down into some of the intricacy of OpenFOAM's blockMesh utility software used for mesh generation. Specifically, we aim to: Perform mesh generation with blockMesh Understand the effects of mesh grading on simulated results. Theory The blockMesh utility creates parametric meshes with grading…

Objective This project is about review of essentials of Finite Volume Method, especially to, understand what Finite Volume Method (FVM) is understand the major differences between FDM & FVM understand the need for interpolation schemes and flux limiters in FVM   What is Finite Volume Method (FVM) The finite…

Objective This project studies simulation of incompressible flow in a circular pipe using a piece of the geometry. Specifically, it aims to  understand how the wedge angle influences accuracy of results understand the flow phenomenon and compare to available analytic results compare the flow velocity and shear stress…

Objective This project is the continuation of the previous project on simulation of incompressible flow in a circular pipe using as piece of the geometry as the computation domain. The previous project made use of wedge boundary conditions on the wedge patch as shown in the image below.       …

Objective To determine the effect of equivalent ratio, carbon content and type of fuel on the Adiabatic Flame Temperature in both constant volume and constant pressure reaction. Theory When a combustion reaction takes place energy is released to the combustion products. If no heat is lost in this process, the temperature…
