The stream line passes through the part set as the wall
 

Hi for all, Sorry in advance for my poor English

I set the shape as shown in the attached image.

Like the attached image shape, I want to see a stream line that deflects when there is an object placed in the flow of the fluid.
Based on the image above, the lower and left parts are inlet and outlet, respectively, and the spherical shape is given as a solid wall, and the flow part is given as fluid water.

At this time, when the output stream line is animated, the dots penetrate the wall and pass as it is.
All connectivity tabs have been deleted.
I'm curious as to what is the universal cause of this situation.
The inlet and outlet are 6mmHg and 0mmHg as total pressure, respectively. Thanks for your help.

Does the object move? Is it in a rotating frame of reference? Is the model transient? All of these things can cause streamlines to terminate at walls.

If not, please upload your output file and an image of the full geometry.

Thank you for your response. ghorrocks

Object is stationary. The analysis was conducted once as steady and then again as transient.
It seems difficult to disclose all models for company security. I'm sorry I couldn't reveal the model despite you helping me.

If the simulation is transient then streamlines can go into walls.

Also inadequately converged solutions can also have streamlines going into walls.

But unless you give us me specific details about what you have done we will not be able to help you further.

You can try to reduce the Step Tolerance.

Btw, is the object an Immersed Solid? Then it might be very hard to get correct streamlines.

Also, better use different postprocessing objects. Streamlines only give a general indication the flow. Better look at contours, vectors, etc.

thanks for your help, ghorrocks
 

Not the interpretation attached to the main post, but I made a model with almost the same conditions.

Even in the case of a newly created model, after creating a stream line, when animation is activated, dots pass through the solid.

I think I made a basic mistake, but I don't know why.

I'll attach the second test interpretation I made.
The mesh is extremely large due to capacity issues. If I make the mesh a little tighter, it will look like the shape I tried.


Thanks again for your help

yes It immersed. I'll try to reduce the Step Tolerance. thanks for your help.
I left an analysis file similar to the simulation I conducted in the reply above, so if you are okay with it, please check it once.

It is an immersed solid? Then why didn't you say so.....

In that case look at the immersed solid parameter momentum source scaling factor. It will need to be increased to stop significant flow from going through the body. The default is 10, try 100 and see how that works. For a small body you might need to increase it quite a bit.

I'm sorry if I did something stupid. I just wanted to say that the solid shape is sinking into the liquid.

I watched the video above and followed it, but in the video above, it went well with the solid domain. I don't know what the difference is between immersed solid and solid domain.

I followed what you said and the result was much closer to what I was hoping for.

It's been a really big help. Thank you again!

I recommend you read the documentation so you understand immersed solids. They are treated fundamentally differently to solid domains, and have their own issues you need to be aware of. The momentum source factor is the most fundamental and important factor in an immersed solids simulation, so you need to know what it means and how to control it.
