A channel flow simulation was done using Converge CFD Software for three different mesh sizes:

2e-4m, 1.5e-4m and 1.2e-4m respectively. The steps involved in setting up the case are mentioned below.

Case Setup

1) A geometry for the channel is created

2) The necessary boundary conditions are defined.

3)The necessary steps are then followed in setting up the case where materials, simulation parameters, initial conditions, physical models etc are all specified.

4) Base gride sizes are also specified

 

Case Setup

 

Running the Solver and Post-Processing

1) After setting up the case the input files are exported to a designated location.

2) Using Cygwin we then run the simulation 

Running Solver

3) After the simulation runs successfully, we then post-process the results using Para-View.

 

Base Grid Mesh Size: 2e-4m

Mesh(2e-4m)

Velocity(2e-4m)

The velocity of the flow is plotted. We see that because of wall shear stress, the velocity profile starts developing a parabolic profile.

 

Velocity COntour(2e-4m)

                                         This plot shows the velocity vector (arrows)

 

Velocity Plot

 

 

Base Grid Mesh Size:1.5e-4m

Mesh(1.5e-4m)

We see a finer mesh due to the refinement.

 

vel(1.5)

The velocity magnitude plot starts to smoothen out.

 

Base Grid Size:1.2e-4m

An even finer mesh is now obtained

Study of Aerodynamic Flow Processes Around The Ahmed Body and Validation Against Experimental Data For a 35 Base Slant

Objective:

Objective:  The shape of a car body in-front of the largest cross-section has only minor influence on the total drag. The main contributions to the drag force originate from the rear part of the body. A drag breakdown reveals that 85% of body drag is pressure drag, most of which occurs at the rear end. The rest 15%…
