Hi,

Recently I was assigned a job to do some analysis to simulate how gas pass through small pipes. Our company is using CFD-ACE+ (CFD Research Corp), however, we're lack of tutorial and manual. Also, I'm new in this area (only have some basic knowledge of fluid dynamics).

I would really appreciate if any one familiar with this software could give me some guidance and advice, or help me to set up a simple model to test.

Thank you soooo much...

Sincerely, -Sean

Hi Sean,

Maybe this websites will help you,

or can do a google on CFD-ACE+

Thanks Tiger,

I already did google a lot, and those example seems too advance for a primer. ;_;

Would you kindly give me a hand for a simple example ? I had come up one but it never converge. >< here is the setting.

-------- -------

| | | | inlet | |___________| | Outlet

| ------------ |

-------- ------- inlet: fixed Pressure (1000 N/m2) outlet: fixed Pressure (100 N/m2) Other BC are no-slip wall VC: Oxygen gas (with default properties) Temp: 300T (also default) IC: 0.1 m/s

Is is setting able to simulate how gas pass through the channel ? am I missing something (BC, VC, IC) to make it works ?

Sorry to bother you that much. please give me some advice.

Thanks alot. ^^

hmm... seems my previous post got messed up, I will open a new thread for my problem.

thanks again for all the helps.

Why don't you ring up CFDRC (or whoever they are now - they have been bought recently) and get a manual and tutorial? Most companies will provide a small amount of informal support for their old software in order to maintain goodwill and encourage updating to a current license.
