Week 7 - Mini project - Flow over an Airfoil

SIMPLE FORMULA CAR AERO PERFORMANCE SIMULATION AIM: To simulate the car for two different conditions and obtain the aero performance. INTRODUCTION: Formula car has different components, which are designed to produce and withstand high downforce levels. The body of the car generally creates a lift at high speed, and to…

AHMED BODY SIMULATION AIM: To simulate flow around ahmed body and comparing the experimental data with the simulated data. INTRODUCTION: Ahmed body is a general body used for approximation of automobile bodies. In this simulation, the ahmed body is designed using CATIA V5 and the windtunnel setup and case setup is done…

TRANSIENT SIMULATION OF FLOW OVER A THROTTLE BODY   AIM: To simulate flow over a throttle body with different angles and understand the flow behaviour and transient simulation. INTRODUCTION: This simulation is done for visualising flow over the body, and how the velocity of the flow affects near the throttle body…

STEADY STATE SIMULATION OF FLOW OVER A THROTTLE BODY AIM: To simulate flow over a throttle body by fixed embedding. INTRODUCTION: This simulation is done for visualising flow over the body, and how the velocity of the flow affects near the throttle body region, and to know what happens when a flow is obstructed by a body,…

MINI PROJECT – FLOW OVER AN AIRFOIL   AIM: To simulate an airfoil for different angle of attacks and calculate the drag and lift coefficients. INTRODUCTION: The airfoil simulation done here helps us to understand the lift forces that could be generated by modelling an airfoil, thereby could be used to different…

SHOCK TUBE AIM: To simulate a shock tube problem and understand the behaviour of the molecules by obtaining pressure and temperature graphs. INTRODUCTION: A shocktube is a setup in which a rectangular or a circular cross section pipe consists of two regions , high pressure and low pressure region. In this simulation, a…

FLOW OVER A BACKWARD FACING STEP AIM: To simulate a flow over a backward facing step using CONVERGE CFD and visualise the area in the wake field. INTRODUCTION: Backward facing step is the most common type of simulaton done, to understand the cfd concepts and working of solvers. It is the simple problem which can be simulated…

Reynold’s stress: It is the total stress value obtained in the turbulence region after averaging. Getting this Reynold’s stress correct is what turbulence modelling is all about. Turbulence model is all about capturing the time integral term in the equation.   Turbulent viscosity: Generally viscosity is…
