Eulerian–Eulerian coupled with VOF
Hi Dear friends,
How do Coupled Eulerian–Eulerian homogeneous multiphase Model with a VOF method in fluent? (Eulerian–Eulerian homogeneous multiphase Models to calculate the flow field and VOF to determine shape of the free surface) TNX |
Hi,
as I know you can only choose one multiphase model, eulerian multiphase or vof model. Daniele |

Thank you so much Can you help me in my problem? (free surface simulation of stirred tank) |

However I never used the vof model to study the free surface: my "top" boundary condition was a simmetry condition in all simulations. Post a sketch of what you want to do (domain, dimensions) and add some more details on fluids you want to mix. Daniele |

If you can't have a converged solution or your results are not accurate you have to switch to unsteady simulation (implicit formulation, less accurate then the explicit, but more stable); the time step will be dependent on the rotational speed of your impeller (the solution has to converge in max 40 iterations, if it doesn't reduce the time step). As a first try I use a time step "time to complete one revolution/8". For unsteady simulation you can use either mrf or sliding mesh approches: sliding mesh is more accurate, but it is more more expensive in therm of computational time. Since you have not baffles, mrf should give good results. Try to setup in fluent your problem, then report back if you have problems. Daniele |

stirred tank
dear friend,
I attached a file about my broblem. if possible for you, please help me. thank you so much |

please elaborate more "System must be stable after a period of time, but is not and results are wrong". Why "impeller" is stationary?it should be rotating as shaft and fluid rotor.. Maybe also a pressure outlet for the top is more indicated instead of simmetry. If possibile upload somewhere cas/dat files, if not possible post some contour picture of phases. Daniele |

System should be stable after a period of time, but did not stable and it seems that results are wrong
Why "impeller" is stationary? Because tutorial of fluent(stirred tank) like this. I set top of tank as pressure inlet (like tutorial of fluent) but results dont change. |

It is not possible to send case/dat files because their sizes is large (20MB).
forgive me |
Are you sure you obtained a converged solution?
what are the values of residuals? Can you create a vertical plane and post a contour of velocity magnitude? Then, in fluent create 2 planes, below and above the impeller, then monitor the area weight velocity magnitude: the values must not change in each iteration; if the values are changing yet when the next iteration starts you have not a converged solution. (Refer to the tank tutorial to monitor velocity magnitude values) Shaft and impeller have to rotate: you can set the shaft to rotate with absolute rotational velocity and the impeller to rotate with 0 relative rotational velocity (in respect to the rotor fluid rotational velocity).
