Week 9 - Mini project - Flow over an Airfoil

AIM: To analyze the flow over a throttle body, we need to conduct a steady-state simulation. The first step is to set up the simulation and run it. Once we have the results, we can post-process them to obtain pressure and velocity contours. To visualize the mesh, we can create a surface with edges. This will help us understand…

AIM: To simulate flow over a Throttle Body in a steady-state condition. INTRODUCTION: Throttle Body:           In fuel-injected engines, the throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver accelerator pedal input…

AIM: In this project, we are going to calculate the drag and lift coefficients for the NACA 2412 airfoil on 4 four different angles of attack i.e. 10, 50, 100, 150. Introduction: Airfoil is the cross section of a wing, propeller, rotor, or turbine, or sail as shown in cross-section. An air-like body moving through a fluid…

AIM: To conduct a simulation of the flow around an Ahmed Body using Converge CFD software and compare the results with experimental data. The simulation aims to determine the aerodynamic forces acting on the body, specifically the drag and lift coefficients.4 By setting up and running the simulation, we hope to gain insight…

AIM:The simulation of the 3D Shock tube was performed using Converge 3.0, as part of this project. Shock tubes are utilized to replicate blast waves and simulate the effects of explosions on a smaller scale, as well as to examine compressible flow phenomena and gas-phase combustion reactions. A shock wave can be generated…

AIM: The aim of this study is to simulate the flow of fluid through a heated, hollow aluminum cylinder, investigate the conjugate heat transfer, and perform a grid dependence test. Additionally, the effect of the super-cycling stage interval on simulation results will also be examined. PROCEDURE: The simulation process…

AIM: 1) Running simulations for the Channel flow using three different Base Mesh sizes and examining the resulting plots.    Channel Flow & Geomtery: PROCEDURE:Three different mesh sizes: 2e-4m 1.5e-4m 1.0e-4m,  were used to simulate the channel flow. The plots for velocity, pressure, and mass flow rate…

AIM: To set up the simulation for a flow through a pipe (outer layer is a metal-Aluminium and inner is a fluid region)  of thickness 5mm where heat is supplied constantly.   THEORY: ( CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER ) The word conjugate heat transfer refers to the variation in temperature of both solids and fluids…

Let's consider the incompressible Navier Stokes Equation in differential form:  ∂u/∂t +(u⋅∇) u=−1/ ρ(∇p) + ν ∇2 u    On Applying Reynold’s Decomposition Velocity & Pressure Fields:  u = U + u′  P = P + p′    Next, …

1.  High-speed, compressible fluid flows with sudden changes in flow properties such as temperature, pressure, and density are known as shock flows. To simulate these flows accurately, appropriate boundary conditions must be chosen and implemented. This report summarizes the literature on boundary conditions for shock…
