udf boundary condition (vorticity)
 

Hi
I don't know how to write udf boundary condition for vorticity .I bring to your attention that my work has been done on the nanofluid and more precisely I am working on the configuration of Rayleigh Bénard (natural convection).

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) problem. For the RB problem, the distance between the upper cold and lower hot plates is defined by H and the width of the top and bottom plates is defined by W. The plates’ width W is considered infinite and treated by a periodicity boundary condition. The bottom plate is maintained at a hot temperature TH=50 C whereas the top plate is maintained at a cold temperature TC=22 C. The fluid enclosed between the plates is water based nanofluid containing CuO nanoparticles. The nanofluid is assumed incompressible and the flow is assumed as laminar and twodimensional.
thanks

boundary using UDF -vorticity-
 

Can anyone tell me how to apply dv/dx=0 and omega=du/dy at a boundary using UDF.:rolleyes:
[v=delta(psi)/delta(x) u=-delta(psi)/delta(y)]

Wall boundary
 

Fluent uses momentum conservation and not vorticity or Poisson's equation. The equation you have is written in terms of streamfunction and implies no-slip condition. That is the default condition in Fluent and you don't need to do anything

But I fond in the results that dv/dx is not equal 0

Gradient
 

That won't be 0 and should not be. Look at the document you shared. The condition is NOT



but , implying velocity is 0.

I think psi=0 that mean (noslip) and omega(rotational flow)??

Noslip
 

That's correct and no-slip implies velocity is 0 at the wall, i.e., the default condition in Fluent. As far as rotation is concerned, in a 2D case, rotation is possible only around z-axis, so, where is a function of velocity gradient.

so I don't need to do anything
okay thank you so much

How to make a UDF to have a fully developed velocity profile in a 3D rectangular micr
 

Hi everyone,
How to make a UDF to have a fully developed velocity profile in a 3D rectangular microchannel having a cross sectional area of 2mm (H) * 1mm (W)? I want to interpreted it to ANSYS (Fluent).
Regards.

look for DEFINE_PROFILE in Ansys Fluent Customization manual

Hi Alexander,
I did it but unfortunately I could not found what I want (which is fully developed laminar flow in the entrance of a 3D rectangular microchannel). I have found UDF fo 2D duct with turbulent flow regime as shown in the figure attached. I would be very grateful if any one could help me.
The cross sectional area of the rectangular microchannel is 1mm width and 2mm height, while the length of the microchannel is 20mm. Assume the inlet velocity is 0.2 m/sec (laminar flow)
Regards.
