Fluent / Re: Solver for vortex tube simulation
« Last post by william on September 24, 2012, 11:58:04 AM »
The selection of the solver is based on whether the fluid is compressible or incompressible. Even the gases can be considered incompressible if the pressure gradient in the flow is not large enough to change the density significantly. But if you have a large pressure gradient or if the fluid has mach number greater than 0.3 then density based solver is preferred.

Fluent / Solver for vortex tube simulation
« Last post by untimaze on September 24, 2012, 10:48:04 AM »
I would like to know which solver will be preferable to model flow in a Vortex Tube, pressure based or density based?

Thanks

i am modelling a canal with a ostakle in it.i use Adopt_>region  to define volume fraction of water.
velocity inket is 1.77m/s  and depth in enterance is 1.83m.
the flow is sub critical
i cant access this.can anyone help me.

Fluent / Time dependent source term
« Last post by moloy_kb on September 06, 2012, 06:44:11 AM »
Dear all,

I am trying to solve the effect of body acceleration on the human arterial system. For that I need to write some codes for a time dependent source term in DEFINE_SOURCE Macros. The acceleration term is given by
a(t) = a0*Cos(omega*t+Phi), where a0 is the amplitude part of the acceleration in mm, but the Fluent document tells that the dimension of the source term should be in N/m^3. How to make the proper dimension for the problem.

Fluent / Re: How can I get particles mean diameters at each cell?

You can get an estimated solid volume fraction in a cell by diving discrete phase concentration with particle density (assuming that all particles have the same density).

This will be:

C_DPMS_CONCENTRATION(c,t)/P_RHO(p)

You may get a value greater than 1 in certain regions if your case involves dense discrete phase flow.

William: Thanks. Fortunately, I have fixed the compiling issue and it works for me now. One more question though: how do you get the particle volume or volume fraction in every cell? Is it C_VOF(c,t)?

You will have to compile the UDF you can not run it as interpreted because it uses variables.
You will need to sort out the issues with compiling.
