hi guys, i have a project in which i have to simulate the effects of a passing truck on a stationary vehicle (sedan) in a tunnel. Now i am totally blank on this type of analysis. Can any one guide me how to start the analysis procedure.

regards wilson

Rohan I don't think your comments make any sense or helpful. I know Fluent, has an ad on the net about solving such a problem. Perhaps you can do a search on their website or on the internet. Good luck

Not much help, but then again: I know STAR-CD has a tutorial ( tutorial 11? ) about 2 trains passing each other. Maybe you can come up with some guidance rules from that case even though it is not the same software. Kind Regards

Wilson,

Since there is a stationary object, you'll have to model this with a sliding mesh. For this, the ends will have to be periodic. That is, you are simulating a series of moving vehicles one after the other. If you space them "very" far apart, you can approach a condition of negligible end effects for a single vehicle.

Look at the examples in CFX for using a sliding mesh with periodics. Specifically, you need a linear example (as opposed to rotational).

Good Luck, Jeff
