Ansys CFD Assignment

The document describes setting up a simulation in ANSYS Fluent to analyze heat transfer of air flowing over a staggered tube bundle. It involves creating a 2D geometry of 4 or 6 rows of tubes, specifying boundary conditions of the inlet air velocity and tube wall temperatures, running the simulation, and post-processing the results to obtain heat transfer rates from the tubes. Numerical results show the static temperature and velocity contours that indicate heat convection from the tubes and acceleration of air between them.

2nd ASSIGNMENT

CAD Details- After going to workbench,going under analysis system


to Fluid Flow( Fluent).After going to geometry and snapping to curve
center,creating a sphere of 2m radius. Again selecting the body and
giving him selection name fluid_domain.Now on changing the face
selection filter selecting the face and giving it as selection name as
outer_ boundary The outer boundary will be set to “wall.

MESH DETAIL- Now after going for meshing and for sizing and
choosing body selection filter and then choosing the sphere.and for
meshing choosing element size as 100mm.Again selecting the body
and giving him selection name fluid_domain.Now on changing the
face selection filter selecting the face and giving it as selection name
as outer_ boundary.After updating final mesh was generated.

After going to workbench,going under analysis system to Fluid
Flow( Fluent).After going to geometry and snapping to curve
center,creating a sphere of 2m radius.Now after going for meshing
and for sizing and choosing body selection filter and then choosing
the sphere.and for meshing choosing element size as 100mm.Again
selecting the body and giving him selection name fluid_domain.Now
on changing the face selection filter selecting the face and giving it as
selection name as outer_ boundary.After updating final mesh was
generated.
After that setup option is being generated for which double precision
mode is being opted.Now on going to the model and turning the
energy equation on,for which fluid is taken as air for which all
constants value is taken as 1.After which going to cell domain and
going to source terms from fluid_domain.Taking energy sources as a
constant of -3 this corrosponde to alpha of ½.
After going to the boundary condition temperature unit is changed
to celcuis and taken as a value of 1 degree.
Then after going to control we are turn offing the flow equation.We
go to the report definitions to measure the convergence we go to
surgace report and we access the area weighted average,we name it
as heat-flux-out.In field variable we want wall fluxes total surface
heat flux.Now on clicking the monitors residual we have the energy
equation.It will converge fast,so we are adding the convergence
condition as heat flux out.Going to standard initialisation
temperature is taken as 1 degree celcuis,with number of iterations
20,then after we run it.

Numerical Result-If we look to our residuals we can see it had


converged very fastly to e to the power -6.and to heat flux at the
same point it is not converging. The first thing we check for verification is the
analytical solution since we have one available. Then, we do a mesh refinement and use
a smaller pseudo-time-step to check whether the results are consistent with the original
calculation. By using a finer mesh and a smaller pseudo-time-step, we investigate the
effects of truncation error caused by spatial discretization and temporal discretization.
Then we will do a case comparison for the results obtained after spatial and temporal
refinement. Analytical Solution

The analytical solution is contained in the following file showing the concentration (or
equivalently, the temperature) at various radial locations.
Analytical alpha 0.5
In addition, here are the analytical solutions for
Analytical alpha 1 and Analytical alpha 1.5

Concluision-Extended results and analytical solutions are same


OBJECTIVE- In this example, you will learn how to set up and
simulate air flow over a 2D staggered tube bundle using Ansys
Fluent. You will investigate two configurations, 4 rowed and 6
rowed, and compare the heat transfer rates for both
configurations.
CAD DETAILS-Going to ansys fluent and doing the physics setup
for forced convection heat transfer in 2 d bundle where operating
condition and refernce values are adjusted.Energy equation is turned
on and then k omega model is selected as viscous model now on

turning on SST and intermittency transition model and fluid is taken


as air with its constant values and inlet to [velocity-inlet] boundary
conditions are velocity=3m/s,with specification model as
intermittancy,intensity and hydraulic Diameter with intermittancy as
1,turbulent intermiitancy as 5%,hydraulic diameter as
0.033m,temperature as 290k and ouylet conditions were taken as
with specification method as intermittancy, intensity and hydraulic
diameter turbulent intensity as 5%,hydraulic diameter as
0.033m,backflow total temperature as 320k.
SET UP DETAILS-Setting sym 1 and sym 2 to boundary
condition.Setting wall tube to wall boundary condition .In
momentum tab leaving all setting as default and thermal condition
was set at a value of 350k.Copying the boundary conditions from
wall tube to wall tube 2,wall tube 3,wall tube 4.
Post Processing Detail-Numerical Solution-Setting spatial
discreization for all equation to use the second order scheme.Now
reducing the absoloute criteria for the energy euation residual to e
to the power -8..Now creating the mass weighted average report
definition for static temperature on the outlet surface.After that we
run the simulation .
Results-Contours of static temperature shows that heat convected
out away by air from the cylinders.Conturs of velocity shows that
acceleration of air between the cylinder the wake region behind the
cylinder.To get heat tranfer rate for each of the rows from the result
tab selecting fluxes from the report section .Setting options to total
heat tranfer rate and selecting all wall surfece and then computing
it.Results shows that contour of static temperature plotted clearly
shows air extracting heat from the cylinder and convecting
downstream.Contours of velocity magnitude plotted shows flow
field of air tube in the bundle .Air accelerates as it squezzes between
the cylinders due to ventury effect.
