Simulation of Flow through a pipe in OpenFoam

Aim:- To Validate and compare the difference in the symmetry and wedge boundary condition with the analytical Hagen-Poiseuille equation. Introduction:-  This is a continuation of the simulation of flow through a pipe in OpenFOAM. For the basic introduction part, please refer to https://skill-lync.com/student-projects/week-11-simulation-of-flow-through-a-pipe-in-openfoam-164.…

Aim:- To simulate an axisymmetric laminar flow through a cylindrical pipe applying the wedge boundary condition using OpenFlow and MATLAB. Objectives:- To perform simulation of a laminar flow through a constant cross-section pipe whose Reynolds number is 2100 at the inlet. Validate the results with the Hagen-…

Finite Difference method: In simple terms, the main objective of FDM is to convert the partial differential equations into algebraic equations, such as; `(deltau)/(deltax) = (U^(i+1)-U^(i-1))/(2.Deltax)` The major disadvantage of FDM is the mapping process. The mapping of complex geometry or non-aligned f=grids is…

BlockMesh Drilldown challenge   Introduction:- OpenFOAM is an open-source CFD software used widely across different organizations. The basis of OpenFOAM runs on the core language of C++. With the help of preloaded solvers, the user can easily choose the required solver and method to solve the problem. BlockMesh is…

AIM:- To determine the steady-state temperature distribution for the flow-field variables of 1-D super-sonic nozzle flow and investigate the difference between the two forms of governing equations by comparing their solutions by using the MacCormack's method. Governing Equations:- To complete this simulation, the…

AIM:- To solve the 2D heat conduction equation under steady-state and transient state assumption by using the point iterative techniques such as Jacobi, Gauss-seidel & Successive over-relaxation under Implicit and Explicit schemes. DERIVATION:-  The general 2D heat conduction equation is in the form of  `(dT)/dt…
