Fluid flow through a pipe with a wall thickness (x)

Yunus1 · December 16, 2019, 12:08

Hi all,

This is my first post, newbie here so currently very inexperienced. I was hoping to perform a simple simulation that is not too dissimilar from a radiator pipe found in your home. The problem I am encountering is I can only find tutorials on the steve portal that build the geometry and meshing from a solid cylinder, thus creating the internal geometry of the pipe but not the external features such as the wall thickness.

Altogether, I want to create an interface between the room and the pipe wall to acquire heat transfer data, therefore I need the fluid to flow through the pipe with a wall thickness [x] so that the appropriate boundary conditions can be established.

Can anyone point me towards any threads or resources which can offer assistance or show direction? If anyone feels they could adequately explain to me on here then I would be extremely grateful. If you need me to supply additional information I would be more than happy to do so.

Thanks!
