In this project, flow of air over a backward facing step was simulated. The case was simulated for 2D condition. The inlet was given a boundary condition of 110325Pa and for outlet 101325Pa. The region was initialised with a pressure of 101325Pa. The k-epsilon turbelence model was used to capture turbulence. Three cases…

In this project, flow of air over a backward facing step was simulated. The case was simulated for 2D condition. The inlet was given a boundary condition of 110325Pa and for outlet 101325Pa. The region was initialised with a pressure of 101325Pa. The k-epsilon turbelence model was used to capture turbulence.
Three cases with different base mesh sizes (2e-4, 2. 1.5e-4, and 1.2e-4) were simulated.
The mesh near the step can be seen in below images.
Resuts:
All three cases gave the same results. The velocity color map is shown below.
To understand if there is any backflow, the velocity glyph was plotted. It was seen that there were backflow near the step in all three cases.

Interpolation schemes in FVM:The flux terms in FVM are calculated using the values at the cell centres. For example, heat flux is calculated using temperature values at cell centres (E,P and W). But the flux is obtained when we multiply this by thermal diffusivity. Thermal diffusivity depends on temperature and the value…

RANS
Let us consider the Navier Stokes equation for a 2D, incompressible flow. The continuity equation for this can be written as below. ∂u∂x+∂v∂y=0→Eqn(1)Applying Reynold's decomposition by substituting u=(¯u+u')andv=(¯v+v'), Eqn(1) becomes ∂¯u∂x+∂u'∂x+∂¯v∂y+∂v'∂y=0→Eqn(2)…

Prandtl-Meyer Expansion Shock problem using Converge
In this project the Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan was simulated to study compressible flow. Air flowing with a velocity of 680m/s (M=2) was simulated over a wedge to study the expansion. Shocks are created when an object moves at a speed greater than that of sound in that medium. Shock are sudden change in the physical properties…
