Click here for the results of the series of simulation experiments and parameter analysis, completely summarized in an Excel workbook. Only parts of the results are given graphically below.
preliminary simulation experiments
- To investigate the appropriate boundary condition settings and the convergence level
Simulations with various h over b ratios
According to the results of the preliminary simulation experiments, the simulation are design in following ways:
- Mesh generation
- The mesh files for various h over b ratios are generated using the journal file
- Define the problem in FLUENT
- Click here for a report summary of all parameters of FLUENT model
- Formulations of the performance parameters
Wiki Markup Click !here^CFD tasks.ppt|width=32,height=32! for a summary of the derivation and formulation of the performance parameters
Take the values calculated from the 4th baffle, and plot each parameter as a function of h/b:

Pi_cell was shown to increase continually as h/b ratio increases in preliminary experiments, which was also reported in Fall 2008 research.
