Hi.
I am modeling a channel on Fluent my results for pressures in Compared with laboratory experiments are very large. may be i should calculate other pressure (out of static or absolute). Is there difference between static and hydrostatic pressure? ( What are relations between pressures) see attached image Last edited by flow_CH; July 5, 2013 at 06:23. |

why dont you try boundary conditions of pressure inlet and outlet if both of these are known to you, i hope it might work out for you

I have pressure outlet boundary with gauge pressure=0 but for pressure inlet boundary i can not define velocity for inlet. Can you tell me what relations are between static pressure and other pressures?

You will find all the equations here:

first, tell me your model size, boundary conditions and the size of your meshes

there is no difference between static and hydrostatic
but static and dynamic pressures are different (remember something like bernouli's equation) v^2/2g is dynamic pressure, P0 is the atmosphere pressure, and Z is the static pressure since you have movement in your system, you should consider the total pressure

My model lenght is 2 meters, and 1 meter Width that it is going gradually small.( 1 meter in inlet and 0.9 meter in outlet)
I have two inlet boundaries for water and air ( velocity inlet for water=4 m/s and air=0.001 m/s) and one pressure outlet with gauge pressure=0. Up boundary is pressure inlet with gauge pressure=0. Others are wall. I tested meshes with 0.008 interval size (Hex/wedge) and bigger and with pressure inlet for air inlet but all of them are approximately similar. I know that negative pressure is normal in fluent but why in exactly on inlet? Why is big difference between my results of laboratory pressure and fluent pressure? thanks |

in such problems, mesh size really changes the results. for such size, you need to at least use a mesh size of 1-3mm.
boundary conditions seem fine, but try to put the outlet as out-flow and the top as symmetry. I have used symmetry for open channel flow before, at it's really better that pressure BCs.

My flow regime is super critical and it is better i use velocity inlet.
Outflow and pressure inlet are not compatible together. It used just with flow rate inlet boundary. (section 7.10 user guide) |

that's ok, I know (I meant you could use velocity inlet for air and out flow for both air and water, basically, there is not much difference between pressure outlet and outflow)
so, for water inlet-->velocity inlet air inlet --> pressure inlet and for both outlets-->pressure outlet for the top, pressure inlet is OK, but as I have experience, symmetry is better (although it is said it should be used for symmetrical problems) the BCs are OK now. let's move on to your other options tell me about the model you're using, transient or steady state?, if transient, what is the time step? and number of iterations per time step? residual limits, and solution controls all these parameters really affect the solution

I am using steady state. VOF - implicit - k-epsilon RNG
I did not active implicit body force in multiphase panel. All absolute criteria for residual are 1e-3. Pressure velocity coupling is SIMPLE. Under relaxations are between 0.2-0.5. Pressure discretization is PRESTO. Last edited by flow_CH; July 3, 2013 at 02:24. |

The lowering of mesh interval size could not help me too. Nobody can not tell me why my static pressure is high?
