Hello
I am trying to simulate stewpot on cookstove. I did analysis. When I check the result, I notice that water density in stewpot is constant. Therefore no flow and turbulance being in stewport. And the tepreture spread is not correct. Teperature is rising only near of fire border stewport. When you look the photo of result you will see. I have done little research on the internet and the forum I found table of water density depend on temperature of water. Then I wrote lineer equation. I dont have any problem with equation but I could not manage to write expression. I tried many ccl but cfx didnot accept them. İf someone write the right structure of expression which is for density depend on water temperature. Thanks , regards. At analysis there is one air domain , one water domain and one stewpot domain. http://postimg.org/image/jmld71jgd/ |

Have a look at the buoyant flow examples in the CFX tutorial manual. You will have missed something you need. To do a buoyant flow you need:
* A gravity vector defined * Either a boussinesq buoyancy model (incompressible fluid, buoyancy force applied as a source term proportional to temperature) or a density versus temperature model (eg ideal gas or variable properties fluid) * Something to drive a temperature gradient * Enough time to allow a temperature gradient to form. |

When I wrote exprssion in material properties->equation of state -> densiyt = function 1 (T)

I write another expression for densty
999[kg m^-3]-((T-273[K])/1[K])*0.385[kg m^-3] with this expression I start the solver İt gave this eror Domain Group: water1 domain Buoyancy has been activated.

Yes, that is another problem with your approach - if the domain is sealed then you will have problems with the density going bezerk as the system heats up.
To start off I recommend you use the simple incompressible fluid buoyancy model. You do not need to define a density versus temperature relationship for this which simplifies things. Have a look in the CFX tutorials for examples of how to set this sort of simulation up. Also - this error message says this is a multiphase model. You did not mention you are doing a multiphase model! You have not got the basic buoyancy driven flow working yet so you should remove the multiphase bit and just get the buoyant flow working on pure water. Once you can model a pot full of water successfully then you can add the multiphase bits - which I presume are the meat and veges (yummy). |

Thankyou so much ghorrock. I am working on it, I solved densty problem but still there are something wrong I willfix in soon time.

Hi mztcu
How u have solved density problem. How u have varied density with temperature using user function. I am also getting same error please help i have got stuck in my project |
