CFD Flocculation Tank 3D Simulation Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

February 20, 2009

Accomplishments
  • Ran more simulations of 2D vs 3D periodic models
  • Ran more simulations with Reynolds Stress model
  • Continued working on finer meshes
Metrics
  • NA
Outcomes
  • Need to run simulations with different models, boundary conditions and other parameters, and compare the energy dissipation map.
Issues
  • Laminar models didn't converge for both 2D and 3D cases
  • No significant improvement in computing speed was observed using SGI server or dual core
  • Change the Reynolds number by varying viscosity; Do 2D vs 3D comparison for Reynolds stress model
  • Check and make records for the parameters of old models
  • Look up in FLUENT documentations on parallel computing and Reynolds Stress model
  • No labels
