Dear friends ,
I am trying to just make a very simple piston movement analysis. My mesh is perfect ( just used sweep in mesh ) and I have setup transient conditions with sinusoidal motion of piston. I am attaching my CCL with this. 1) I have a problem that there is (almost) no difference in pressure/ temperature with change in fluid model from none, thermal energy, isothermal , total energy. why does this happen and how can I avoid this problem? I need to see changes in pressure, temperature for each model . 2)When I try to use volume rendering to find how temperature changes, I get an error that minimum is greater than maximum. But when and where should I change something? I did some crude techniques to try myself but in vain. What is a good approach in viewing my results? [both in colors, animation and just numbers, plots ] Also , are there equations to theoretically compare the results obtained from ANSYS for each model? Just a simple piston movement and I have been breaking my head for quite too long ! Cheers, Arun CCL : # State file created: 2016/07/08 07:57:30 # Build 16.2 2015.06.30-00.06-134402 LIBRARY: CEL: EXPRESSIONS: dt = 1.24972e-5[s] greitis = 5000[rad s^-1] gretis = -3.6[m/s]*t+Y0 poslinkis = greitis *t poslinkis cilindro = -sin(poslinkis )*0.0042[m] slegio kitimas p = slegio kitimas(t) su funcijos duomenimis = Function 1(t) END END ADDITIONAL VARIABLE: AV Option = Definition Tensor Type = SCALAR Units = [Pa] Variable Type = Specific END ADDITIONAL VARIABLE: Additional Variable 1 Option = Definition Tensor Type = VECTOR Units = [Pa] Variable Type = Volumetric END MATERIAL: Air Ideal Gas Material Description = Air Ideal Gas (constant Cp) Material Group = Air Data, Calorically Perfect Ideal Gases Option = Pure Substance Thermodynamic State = Gas PROPERTIES: Option = General Material EQUATION OF STATE: Molar Mass = 28.96 [kg kmol^-1] Option = Ideal Gas END SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY: Option = Value Specific Heat Capacity = 1.0044E+03 [J kg^-1 K^-1] Specific Heat Type = Constant Pressure END REFERENCE STATE: Option = Specified Point Reference Pressure = 1 [atm] Reference Specific Enthalpy = 0.

If you run this with none, thermal energy, isothermal options this model should crash. These are all incompressible fluids and you are compressing it so that does not work. The only option which should work is total energy as that is the only option which models a fully compressible fluid.
You should be able to get this within a few percent of the analytical answer. I have done benchmarks on this years ago and got very accurate results so it can be done. I can see straight off: * Your time step is too big. Use adaptive time steps with 3-5 coeff loops per iteration. Then the solver will find the time step size for you. * Your convergence criteria needs checking. 1E-4 might be too loose. * You set a maximum coeff loops of 4. Remove this option. * You should do a mesh sensitivity study as well, but for simple piston compression of a gas this is not very important. It will only become important if the gas starts to flow somewhere. |

But Air at 25 degs is compressible gas automatically...no? |

Air at 25C just takes material properties at 25C and then defines an incompressible fluid.
