AIM- Discuss the CFD module (Ansys-Fluent) of the software.

Ansys Fluent is an industry-leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software used for
modeling fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and more.

Here are some key points about Ansys Fluent-

1. Physics Modeling- Ansys Fluent provides advanced physics models, allowing you to
simulate a wide range of fluid phenomena. These include turbulence modeling, single and
multiphase flows, acoustics, combustion, fluid-structure interaction, and more.
2. User-Friendly Interface- Fluent offers a streamlined workflow with a single-window
interface. It integrates seamlessly with Ansys Workbench, making it easy to set up and
analyze simulations 1.
3. Validation and Accuracy- Ansys Fluent has been extensively validated across various
applications. You can trust its simulation results for accurate predictions.
4. Customizable and Intuitive- The software allows you to create customized physics models
and analyze complex geometries within an intuitive workspace.
5. Recent Enhancements (2024 R1)-
 GPU Solver Enhancements- Improved GPU solver with new models, non-conformal
interfaces, sliding mesh, combustion, and enhanced solution monitors.
 CPU Solver Enhancements- Stiff chemistry solver, faster conjugate heat transfer
calculations, and discrete phase modeling for multi-phase flows.
 Web-Based UI- Access simulations remotely via a web browser for real-time
monitoring and post-processing.

What is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)?

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the science of using computers to predict liquid and
gas flows based on the governing equations of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy.
Fluids are all around us and sustain our lives in endless ways. The vibrations in your vocal
cords generate pressure waves in the air that make speech possible, as well as hearing the
spoken words. Without fluids, your tennis ball’s topspin would be meaningless, and your
airplane wouldn’t generate any lift. Through CFD, we can analyze, understand, and predict
the fluids that make up nearly every part of our world.

Governing Equations of CFD


The motion of fluid is not intuitive for many people, as it moves very differently than a solid
object. If you throw a ball across the room, it doesn’t change shape or mass. You can’t quite
“throw” air in the same way. The governing equations of CFD help us compensate for the
arbitrary shape and unpredictable nature of fluids.

The Navier-Stokes equations, named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes,
are partial differential equations describing the motion of fluids. Developed in the mid-19th
century, they are the basic equations for understanding fluid mechanics and are used to model
all types of fluid flows, such as airflow around a wing and fuel flow through an engine. They
are considered the primary governing equations for modeling fluid behavior, and are based on
the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy.

1. Conservation of Mass: Continuity Equation

This equation states that the mass of a given volume of fluid must remain constant unless there
is a mass inflow or outflow:

Where ⍴ is the fluid density, t is time, u the velocity vector and ∇ the gradient operator.

2. Conservation of Momentum: Newton’s Second Law

The momentum equation states that the rate of change of momentum within a fluid volume is
equal to the sum of the forces acting on it, including pressure and gravity. For an incompressible
fluid with constant viscosity, we can write this as:

Where p is the static pressure, v is the viscosity and ƒ b are body forces (typically gravity).

3. Conservation of Energy: First Law of Thermodynamics

The energy equation states that the change in total energy of the fluid must be equal to the
energy added to, or removed from, the system (e.g. by conductive or convective heat transfer).

Where htot is the total enthalpy, λ is the conductivity, T the temperature and SE is external
sources of energy. The term ∇ ∙ ( u ∙ t ) is the viscous work term and represents the work due
to viscous stresses.
