Meshing / structured vs unstructured
« Last post by lakhi on August 07, 2012, 08:20:04 AM »Hi. I'm using ICEM CFD for mesh generation. After meshing, i save it as unstructured mesh. There is one more option called blocking mesh. Is this format for creating structured mesh? Does Fluent run structured meshes (so far as i know, fluent is an unstructured mesh solver)? If yes, how. Which one is best for yielding better results, structured or unstructured. I'm using ANSYS v14 at present.Thanx in advance.

Fluent / Re: UDF for discrete phase model
« Last post by lakhi on August 07, 2012, 08:03:58 AM »Thanx mali28, I got it. As in your last line"The number of tracked particles should not decrease at the end of simulation if your injection is continuous.", you are right ! That is what is making me to think about my approach. If I set mass flow rate and velocity in the dpm with normal to face injection and if I set start (as 0) and stop time (as 0.5 sec) my solution does not converge and number of particles tracked is very high. Moreover DPM iteration takes toooo long and fluctuations takes place in residuals. That is the reason why I asked that Is it possible to inject a certain number of particles and then keep the track? I'm really upset with my problem and I'm unable to figure it out. Any suggestions regarding DPM injection please ! Efforts will be praised.

In which the number of particles at any time in the domain will be nearly constant. The number of tracked particles should not decrease at the end of simulation if your injection is continuous.

« Last post by lakhi on August 06, 2012, 03:18:05 PM »Thanx mali28 4 reply. The thing is that I set mass flow rate and velocity in the dpm with normal to face injection and I didn't set start and stop time (both by default 0). At the end of simulation it says like "particles tracked = 760" and "particles trapped = 0" and "particles escaped = 0". In the mid of the problem I have something like "particles tracked = 86907" and "particles trapped = 208" and "particles escaped = 4" and so on. This means my particles tracked value goes on decreasing at some interval till the end. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to inject a certain number of particles and then keep the track? Plz. help !

Fluent / UDF for discrete phase model
« Last post by lakhi on August 06, 2012, 02:45:51 PM »Hi. I'm working with air dust mixture. Does anybody have udf (or tell me some other way) to find the number of dust particles trapped in and number of dust particles escaped from a cyclone from the start till the convergence of the problem? The particles have a range of diameter. I'm not a programmer, so I need help. Efforts will be highly appreciated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_pressure_gradient
Did you include google in your research? I find tons of links for "adverse pressure gradient"...

Fluent / What is adverse pressure gradient?
« Last post by pitney1 on July 18, 2012, 02:30:18 PM »I see the term adverse pressure gradient in many papers in fluid flows involving swirl. I have looked every where but I can not figure out what is adverse and favorable pressure gradients. What is meant by these terms? Adverse means unfavorable. What may be favorable for me might not be favorable for any one else. It is a relative term what does it has to do with pressure gradients!
