Week 2 - Flow over a Cylinder.

OBJECTIVE To simulate the flow over a cylinder and explain the phenomenon of Karman vortex street.    PART-I Simulate the flow with the steady and unsteady case and calculate the Strouhal Number for Re= 100.  PART-II Calculate the coefficient of drag and lift over a cylinder by setting the Reynolds number…

OBJECTIVE  To set up steady-state simulations at a Tee-Joint to compare the mixing effectiveness when hot inlet temperature is 360C & the Cold inlet is at 190C.  The  k-epsilon and k-omega SST models should be used for the first case and based on the  judgment use the more suitable model for further…

Simulation of Flow through a pipe in OpenFoam OBJECTIVE To simulate an axi-symmetric flow by applying the wedge boundary condition by conducting a transient or steady state simulation and you will validate your results with the Hagen- Poiseuille's equations for the fully developed flow.. The flow is laminar and flows…

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this task is to conduct a steady state and transient state analysis of a 2D heat conduction equation by using the point iterative techniques. TASK DESCRIPTION A unit square grid of 10 grid points, with boundary conditions of temperature 400K,800K,600K and 900K at left, right, top…

Aim Write a program in Matlab to optimize the stalagmite function and to find the global maxima of the function. Theory Optimisation is the area of study which deals with minimizing or maximizing a function.It helps to find the best result of a function within  certain constraints.Optimisation is an iterative process…

Aim To write a code to parse NASA thermodynamic data file and calculate the thermodynamic properties like specific heat ,enthalpy and entropy. Objective Write a function to extract 14 coefficients and calculate the thermodynamic properties of all species in the data file. Calculate the Molecular weight of each species…

OBJECTIVE To simulate the isentropic flow through a quasi 1D subsonic-supersonic nozzle for both conservative and non-conservative forms of governing equations using the MacCormack's technique. THEORY Consider a steady state isentropic flow through a convergent-divergent nozzle as shown in figure 1. Figure 1:…
