Steady state simulation of Flow through elbow with throttle valve
The nature of simulation is steady state
SOFTWARES USED: CONVERGE STUDIO ,PARAVIEW
The geometry used:Here is the cut view of geometry
Steps involved:
1,Importing the geometry: Importing the stl file and cleaning up the geometry is done
2,Boundary flagging: There are 4 boundary regions for this simulation such as Inlet ,Outlet, Elbow wall ,and Throttle
3,Case setup: The following things are done in case setup
- Materials assignment(air).
- Simualtion time parameters(The type of solvers and time step parameters).
- Boundary conditions(Inlet -Inflow,Outlet -Outflow,Wall condition for remaining two regions)
- Physical model -Turbulence model(RNG-ke)Grid (a base grid of 4 mm is assigned and mesh is refined in throttle area with fixed embedding option).
4,Running the simulation in command line: The case setup is validated and input files are exported
5,Running simulation in command line:
The simulation is run in command line interface for 10000 cycles
and plotting are extracted from line plotting module in converge
Mass flow rate at inlet
Mass flow at outlet
Average velocity at inlet
Average velocity at outlet
