Spring 2009 Goals
- Validation of CFD models in terms of energy dissipation map: compare different turbulence models and with experimental data
-
- Further work with 3D rke
- Solve the puzzle of different prediction from 2D and periodic 3D models
- Finer mesh
- Run simulation on SGI servers
- Data analysis, interpretation, geometry variation and design recommendation
- Appropriate mesh in 3D
- Mesh interval size and boundary layers
- Validate: Check grid convergence, etc.
- Define the model in FLUENT
- Turbulence model and other parameters
- Validation of the model
- Numerical stability: convergence, accuracy
- Compare with experimental data: find similar flows and related experimental data (free/confined jets, back step,etc. )
- Compare with 2D model: verify the assumptions and validity
- Automation of mesh generation and FLUENT setup
- Data/Parameter analysis and recommendations
- Recognize important variables and parameters
- Write user defined functions to extract analysis data
- Investigate the performance of different geometry
