Week 8 - Simulation of a backward facing step in OpenFOAM

 OBJECTIVE :TO HAVE A OVER VIEW OF FINITE VOLUME METHODS ,INTERPOLATION SCHEMES USED FOR ESTIMATION OF PROPERTIES AT CONTORL VOLUME FACES AND FLUX LIMITER PART 1  FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD Define mesh or nodal points in computational domain Develop the unknown funtions as a taylor series expansion around the values…

 OBJECTIVE :TO SIMULATE INCOMPRESSIBLE LAMINAR VISCOUS FLOW THROUGH A BACKWARD FACING STEP .ALSO TO OBSREVE VELOCITY AND PRESSURE CONTOURS  VARIATION WITH RESPECT TO CHANGE IN THE GRADING FACTOR USING OPENFOAM THEORY   The dynamic behaviour of the fluid flow is analyzed by conservation of mass ,energy…

OBJECTIVE:TO SIMULATE ISENTROPIC FLOW THROUGH A QUASI 1DIMENSIONAL SUBSONIC-SUPERSONIC NOZZLE.THIS SIMULATION IS USED TO OBSERVE THE VARATION OF PRIMITIVE VARIABLES IN NOZZLE AND COMPARE THE MASS FLOW RATE VARIATION WITH CONSERVATION AND NON-CONSERVATION FORM OF EQUATIONS. THEORY COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS The flow is said to…

objective :to generate temperature profiles for 2-dimensional  steady state and unsteady state heat conduction,using explicit and implicite methods. part 1 Theory : general 2-dimensional  heat conduction equation  dT/dt+alpha*(d^2T/dx^2 + d^2T/dy^2 )=0; according to the steady state condition the variation…
