                                            In the current project, we will simulate flow through a mixing tee using ANSYS for the following three different configurations: (i) Short mixing tee with hot stream entering at `25^oC` and 3m/s and cold stream entering at `10^oC` and 6m/s. (ii) Long mixing tee with hot stream entering at `25^oC` and 3m/s and cold stream…

                                              Simulation of flow through a pipe using OpenFoam In the current project, we are going to analyze the steady laminar flow of an incompressible fluid with constant properties in the fully developed region of a straight circular pipe. This flow is termed as Hagen-Poiseuille flow. 1. Physical description As soon as the fluid…

                                              Interpolation Schemes In the finite volume formulation, evaluation of surface and volume integrals sometimes requires the values of unknown variables at locations other than the computational nodes of the control volume. These values are obtained by employing certain interpolation schemes. As an example let us consider…
