Steady State Flow over a Throttle Body

There are two core objectives of the project. To create a backward step geometry by editing blockMeshDict file. To study the effect of mesh grading on the velocity magnitude plot at particular location. The geometry is predefined. To create the required geometry, the blockMeshDict file from cavity tutorial is edited. Below…

SETUP The flow simulation is carried out, with the throttle valve rotated 25 degrees from the completely open position. This rotation happens between 0 to 2 milliseconds. The flow time through the elbow is assumed from the results of the steady-state simulation considering the average velocity at the outlet. The average…

Steady-state airflow simulation is carried out, inside of a throttle body with the valve completely open. The geometry is an STL file, which is imported into converge studio and cleaned up. The mesh size is 2e-3 metres in X, Y and Z respectively. For better visualisation of the flow around the valve, a fixed embedding…

CodeForQuasi1DFlow   The minimum number of cycles for solution convergence is dependent on CFL number, mesh size and time stepping. Keeping mesh and time stepping constant and varying the CFL number. For a grid size of 31 points and CFL based time step, higher CFL <= 1.1 number leads to faster convergence. …
