Hi,
I am trying to optimise a reducing elbow in fluent adjoint solver for pressure drop. It found the critical section, but makes it narrower and increases the pressure drop. What am I doing wrong, maybe its the shape? Am using air, non compressible, should be fairly easy to solve. Cheers, Steffen Last edited by Steffen595; July 9, 2015 at 20:01. |
