hi guys,
I am having difficulty with convergence,especially continuity residuals. My model and boundary conditions are shown below.Air flows in a swirling pattern and creates negative pressure in the central region. the nozzle is 1.5 mm and the gap between skirt and work-piece is 0.3 mm. I want to find the pressure distribution on the work-piece.. The peak velocity is around 100 m/s only and so pressure based solver is sufficient...right? The mesh created has a max skewness of .7 with average skewness of .2 Is the mesh too coarse.do i have to increase the no. of elements where thickness is very less.( I am modelling the fluid domain only and considered an outer envelope to apply pressure boundary condition) How to attain faster convergence for this case. should I use simplec or coupled ?? do i need to modify the under-relaxation factors ? also,how to reduce back-flow ? Any help is appreciated... thanks in advance... |

itzme,
1) What turbulence model do you use? 2) Can you show the residuals? 3) Numerics ("Solution Methods") are?

K-e RNG model I dont currently have the residuals picture...everything except continuity converges... Simplec... Initially with first order and then to second order... |

Di you try to run the whole case with much lower massflow? Try e-5 inlet massflow instead of e-4, and tell us what happens.

Will improving mesh or increasing no. of elements yield correct results?? Thanks in advance |

You mean convergence for the e-5 case?
Can you post a picture of the y+ value on your surfaces?

y+ is the normalized size of your cells, perpendicular to the surface, so its always plotted on the surface of your domain. If it is too large, the boundary conditions of the turbulence model become garbage.
What did you change to achieve convergence? To your question: Of course results can get better if you make the grid even smaller. But you already have 1.3 mio cells for such a simple geometry. Do you have ICEM for meshing or just the ansys meshing?

I refined mesh a bit and changed the relaxation parameters. I am not familiar with icem meshing. |

You should have a look at the y+ anyway. Maybe post the pictures!

Is it possible to do a 2-D analysis for this case ???

i am simulating naca0012 with Gurney flap
mesh using ICEM CFD simulation using FLUENT, k-e RNG, Re=3e06 I have a problem in CLEAN Airfoil (without any gurney flap) in its Static pressure distribution (CP). 1. CP values of pressure and suction surface intersect each other near the trailing edge for every angle of attack. 2. Also there are many riggles (wavy nature of CP) in the CP distribution Though the pathlines seem to be fine can anybody explain this weird CP distribution and how can i rectify it??? thanks in advance |
