Hi,

I am trying to simulate a return line by gravity. I want to know the maximum flow that can pass trought this line. I modelised the return line. In the two extremity, I put en opening pressure. Than, I set the gravity Y to 9,81m/s^2.

But the result are incoerent. The velocity flow is to low. Maybe I did something wrong. Can you tell me an other way to simulate my return line.

Make sure that your reference density is correct!! If your reference density is correct try input a 0 Pa for your reference atmospheric pressure inside your domain!!

Tanks for your answer,

I try to put my reference pressure to 0Pa. I also put boath end of te return line to openning and 0Pa.

The result are still incoerent.

Maybe I did not put my gravity at the wright place.

Actualy à set the Buoyancy to Buoyant. Than I set gravity Y Dirn. to 9.81m/s^2.

Gravity X and Z Dirn. is set to 0.

I try a few other thing, but I still have an incoerent résult. To vérified my analisys, I modelise a srtait pipe so it is easy to compare with hand calculs.

If someone have alerady done the same analysis as my, I would be happy to know how you have done.

Sory for my writing mistake, english is not my first language.

If you send the yourfile.def for i analyse the problem will be more easy to verify the problem!!

Hi Mario,

if your system is in "normal position", ie, the gravity vector cause a force in the negative Y direction, your component must be defined "Gravity Y=-9.81". Or your can use the variable "g" (recognized as the normal gravity >> "Gravity Y=-g".)

[Mario]

Can I send you my file by e-mail??

If not where I can put my *.def file to give it to you.

Great

I think I found my mistake,

It was the boyancy réference température that was not the wright one. The température was to low.

No nothing!!
