Hi Everyone,
I am trying to solve the Navier Stokes equations and continuity equation for low reynolds number flows, so i need to neglect the advection term compared to the other terms, so is this possible? If yes, please suggest the way to do this fluent. If not suggest other methods. |

Hi vaseem,I would suggest putting in a sink term in the momentum equations. You would need to write a UDF for this though and compile it in Fluent. In that sink term, you could include the advection term. That way, it cancels out the advection totally. Just a suggestion.
Hope this helps. |

Hey thanks for the help. The actually question is not about neglecting the advection. I am trying to solve unsteady navier stokes equation at microscale, so i non-dimensionalised these equations, but the coefficients of advection term and unsteady terms are not same, so i am confused about giving the density value for these equations, infact i tried to do the non-dimensionalisation so that both the coefficients match, but my mentor said that there will be a problem if i do this way. So can help me about this? btw i am familiar with the udfs.

I'm assuming that you're not including any body forces acting on the fluid. So your Momentum equation in non-dimensional variables should look like this:
Rho* D(v_i)*/Dt* = -d_i*p*+d_j*tau_ji* where v_i* = v_i/vo (velocity scale); p* is just your coefficient of pressure and Rho* takes on a value of 1. What you can do... and i'm not sure but it's worth a shot, is to run the simulation as per norm and then extract the individual variables, gradients, etc from the momentum equations and then do your non-dimensionalizing. Not sure if this will help you in what you want to achieve though. |
