Shock tube simulation using CONVERGE

In this project, a 2d shock tube of rectangular section was solved using CONVERGE. One half was filled with nitrogen (N2) at 600kPa and the other half with oxygen (O2) at 101.325kPa. A transient case solved for 3ms. The high pressure and low pressure regions were initially closed and were opned after 1ms till the end of…

    a new title

    Objective:

    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

      Objective:

      Let us consider the Navier Stokes equation for a 2D, incompressible flow. The continuity equation for this can be written as below. `(delu)/(delx)+(delv)/(dely)=0rightarrowEqn(1)`Applying Reynold's decomposition by substituting `u=(baru+u')and v=(barv+v')`, Eqn(1) becomes `(delbaru)/(delx)+(delu')/(delx)+(delbarv)/(dely)+(delv')/(dely)=0rightarrowEqn(2)`…
