Hello Guys

I wanted to model a pulsation bottle used at the suction end of a reciprocating compressor. Now the inlet flow is hermonic and I wanted to model the pulsation generated inside the bottle.

I am wondering if fluent would allow you to solve the problem in frequency domain, since the inlet flow has only one frequency, which corresponds to the RPM of the compressor.

I am guessing I can do a time transient solution to capture the wave for may be 2-4 time period, but I wanted to avoid doing a transient solution, as I want the result fairly quickly.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you want to solve in the frequency domain, you need a spectral solver. Unfortunately Fluent is a space-time solver.

Do you know any spectral solver which can do this sort of simulation?
