Hello

Kindly I request to go through the problem and find the below attached files.

I have considered a cylinder with 4 holes inside for the air to flow inside.

Pressure based solver with transient condition.
#Problem statement.
1. Cylinder is rotating at 250 rad/sec.
2. Air is flowing inside with 8 m/s.
3. I have defined the cylinder surface temperature 0f 400K.
4. Need to do the cooling analysis of the problem.

Kindly suggest me where I am doing wrong.

Any experts, Please guide me.

I believe this is the best portal to learn the concept. I am student please guide me.

Hi all again,

Find the attached files, which shows the temp-contours.
From this what I understood is only air getting heated up and surface temperature is constant.

Is it fluent taking continuous temperature to surface of cylinder....?

I want to give only once temp to cylinder.

Seniors or any one please help me with this.


Thank you in advance.

Well,
- first of all your geometry seems to be huge! I don't know what's the application but a cylinder with diameter of ~5m, is way big to be rotating at almost 2500rpm!

- Your boundary conditions (BCs) seem ambiguous. if you set the surface temperature BC as T=400K, why would you expect it do decrease during the solution? If you are looking to see some sort of change on the surface, you can apply a constant flux and see temperature change by running the air stream.

- It seems that your flow is turbulence. but I don't see any prism layers in your mesh! you mesh. IMO your mesh is too coarse for that problem. especially near wall regions. Consider y+ between 30 and 300, if you're using k-epsilon.

- If those 4 small cylinders are holes, why do you have mesh inside them?!

I think before moving forward, you need to read some tutorials for similar applications.

Thank you sir for your valuable reply.

I will try with the heat flux.

-If those 4 small cylinders are holes, why do you have mesh inside them?!
I heard that where ever there is air flow, there also we should have volume mesh.
If I am wrong kindly guide me.

The purpose of my problem is, I want to cool the cylinder after some interval by giving initial surface temperaure.

try smaller energy under-relaxation factor
