Single Baffle

Simulation Models were created to compare the flow for two geometries:

  • Single baffle with sharp corners
  • Single baffle with round corners

The gallery below shows results for Static Pressure contours and Velocity Vectors for these geometries.

Two Baffles

Simulation Models were created to compare the flow for two geometries:

  • Two baffles with sharp corners
  • Two baffles with round corners

The gallery below shows results for Static Pressure contours and Velocity Vectors for these geometries.

Mesh Refinement

A standard outlet pressure was set for the Double Baffle Straight Edge geometry for validation. Also a Mesh Sensitivity analysis was performed. The Mesh was refined from 3663 cells to 14652 cells to 58608 cells. Results are plotted for a straight horizontal line at the middle of each baffle. These results are for Velocity Magnitude and Pressure Coefficient. Furthermore a contour of the strain rate was created to show shear velocity gradients around the 180 degree bend.

These results will be further validated by:
