One way valve geometry GAMBIT
Can anyone help me to design one way valve geometry in gambit? Actually I am currently studying an unsteady flow through a pipe (after water exits pump) and I want to see the effect of adding an one-way-valve (known also as check valve) into the pipe.

Do you have a sketch of your valve?
Already built within CAD maybe? |
Actually not. I am very new in CFD analysis and I don't know so many things. Do I have to make a CAD first and then try to design geometry in Gambit?
|
not necessary.
Prior to CFD analysis, you need to built your geometry (cad package or gambit). Once you know your design, I will help you |
Ok max. I will provide you with my design as soon as I have it. Thank you! :)

Something like this I think is the easiest way. Can I create that in 2-d? |
|
static ou moving mesh?

The straight pipe that I had design is created by 4 vertices ((0,0,0), (8,0,0), (0,0.05,0), (8,0.05,0)). I connected those vertices and created 4 edges. The boundary conditions are (velocity inlet, wall, pressure outlet and axis). Analyze in fluent 6.3 an axissymetric unsteady flow. Now I want to attach one-way-valve in this pipe to see the difference. Do I have to design a different pipe or just attach the valve in the existing one?

the ball may rotate and it will open/close the valve.
Try first static mesh (one position (ball-angle)) |

yes but not in 2d-axisymmetric

sketch first on paper, and post here

here is the sketch. I hope that is clear and I will be able to create one of these geometries.
|
In fact I expected a sketch with dimensions ;)
