Multiphase Simulation - Fluent

vinayak4399 · November 22, 2015, 03:36

Hi
I want to simulate multiphase fluid flow analysis & mixing in "Reciprocating
Flow Mixer".
Please see attached image.
I am confused about using multiphase model in Fluent.
Also suggest any other required fluid properties other than density
and viscosity which is essential in multiphase fluid mixing analysis.
Initially domain is assigned with water.
The main focus is on mixing mechanism of oil & water along pipe length.
Please Help me, I am new to multiphase simulation.
Thanks.

Use the VOF model i guess, you can find which model to use for your case by studying the ansys theory guide.

you can't use vof
vof is used when we have a separeted fluids
