Can someone please tell me a basic and easy-to-understand example of Residual in CFD? Thank you

With the assumptions of Inviscid flow, no pressure gradient and no body force terms in 1-D Navier Stokes becomes 1-D nonlinear convection equation; And if we assume velocity of wave propagation is constant value c, equation becomes 1-D linear convection equation; This is online derivation and...

Hi PF! I'm running a two-phase simulation, which takes a long time to run. The simulation is simply a partially filled tank being drained in zero gravity, and the tank is a little smaller than a mailbox (~ 160 X 40 X 40 mm). Before running the simulation I would like to know if my mesh is...

Mathematical proofs that many turbulent flows can be predicted at least in a stochastic sense. Under the right conditions, it turns out that the flow lines and vortices pretty much follow a fractal law. Popular version...

Almost 90% of all humanity lives in the Northern hemisphere. Due to colonization, expansion, growth, war, water sources, etc. we have amassed our populations in specific areas around the Northern hemisphere. We continue to build at an unprecedented rate. Our buildings are growing wider, taller...

When using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling you are able to see incredible complexity in water energy transfer. The Thermodynamic energy transfer occurs at much higher velocity so it does not apply in most of the cases I am looking at. What are the other parasitic energy transfers that...

((((As a correction dissipation function in picture should have square of divergence of U)))) Hi, first of all I am aware that we have to discretize the non linear navier stokes equations to reach the almost exact solution, and pressure based or density based algorithms are deployed for that...

Dear, Everyone I am a new member here, nice to meet you.. First, I want to introduce my self, I am a master student of physics and I am studying CFD right now. It's a new topic for me and I will also do my research about simulation of fluid dynamics related to CFD. Actually, I got this topic...

I was out and about today and observed a dog walker playing frisbee with their dog. I noticed the frisbee gliding gracefully through the air as the dog jumped to grab it, clutching the ring-like disc in its mouth. It got me to thinking about airflow over the disc, the lift and drag properties...

Emphasis in Computational Mechanics I possesses knowledge of mathematical bases of models such as FEM, BEM and FDM. For which I have modeled the contact of two vertebrae solving FEM by implementation using Matlab and Python. Implementation for computational acquisition of normal modes of mass...

Hi I'm trying to understand a paper that approximates the solution to Burger's equation (1D Navier Stokes) by a doing a one-dimensional cellular automaton simulation. I'm having a hard time understanding how all these topics connect. I have seen and walked through various demonstrations that...

< Mentor Note -- thread moved to HH from the technical physics forums, so no HH Template is shown > Hi guys, I'm an IT student 'and lill favour in my masters research work so please help me to have valid answers for following questions ASAP. 1. Do patient specific MRI contains the information...

Hi, For someone who's familiar with LC's: How to derive the expression for free energy density of an hybrid aligned LC cell? what should be the vector for the director? I already familiar with the cases of splay and bend cell but couldn't understand how to derive it to the case where the cell is...

Hello, I was doing melting and solidification of ice kept inside a annular cylinder. The temperature of inside wall of cylinder is 80 degree. Now i want to analyse the total time consuming to melt the ice and plot temperature variation with time. Actually i did analysis but the result i found...

I have come across the paper attached in which a 1D fluid piston is modeled. I have question on the boundary conditions (BCs) of the system. Essentially, the problem consists of a fluid chamber in contact with a spring (a mass -spring system). ALE is used to move the mesh. I am not certain...

Hello,I am trying to calculate the velocity in a pipe with length L and Dia D, which is connected to bottom of a pressurized vessel (Vessel dimensions are known, Level of liquid inside the vessel is known). Now i need to figure out the velocity as a function of pressure inside the vessel.We can...

I had to detect a Leakage in my pipe ,and i am really confused whether the Darcy Weisbach or Hagen-poiseuille equation will be satisfied by the current criteria ,as described below: I have a main tube with ends A and B and various outlets,suppose n outlets are present between A and B , I have...

1. Homework Statement Homework Equations CFD The Attempt at a Solution I'm a bit confused by this question. So at first what I do for the problem on the left, I find the changes in the velocities in X and and Y on all four sides. I notice that the values on the diagram to the left are...

I want to go to physics grad school, but I also want to be ready to go to into CFD for industry if academia doesn't pan out - what area of physics would prepare me best for that?

Hey All! Happy Monday (No one likes hearing that) I've been recently looking into the different CFD programs available, and have become somewhat overwhelmed. My purpose today is to get some opinions, reviews, or experienced guidance on which programs would be useful to look into further...

Homework Statement This is a part of an assignment for a computational modelling paper requiring the modelling of couette flow between two (infinite) parallel plates in MATLAB. The lower plate is stationary while the upper plate moves at 0.1m/s, the plates are 0.01m apart and the no slip...

Hi all, I have just completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics from a UK university (specialising the Mathematical Physics and Fluid Dynamics) and will be continuing on a Masters programme in Applied Mathematics come fall. For my Masters, I would like to do something on CFD but the...

Hi, I've decided I want to pursue a career in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and I think the best career option for me would be be to take up 'teaching' in my area of interest (since I'm not sure how well I'd be able to do in hard-core research activities) . However, I'm completely unaware...

i want to master computational fluid dynamics,i do not have that as a subject in my university.so if i do it on my own,please give an idea about the best books for it?

There are a few threads in this forum about CFD, but I thought I'd establish one for a general discussion of CFD methods and applications and tie it in with others as appropriate. In the December '07 issue of Aerospace America in the Aerospace Sciences section is a short article on the recent...

Hi, hope this is the right area for this. I'm currently doing preliminary research for my computer science dissertation. I'm thinking of doing something in CFD...either representing the effects of wind on fur, or simulating a river flowing. Most CFD 'googles' have resulted in me finding...

i'm an engg student.i need to know what CFD is all about and what is its scope

I know simple finite element method problems and want to get myself upgraded to CFD. What is the simple and best web to learn that?

Hi all any ideas wat computational fluids dynamics is all about.. how should i go about using it, using codes? Wat kind of codes are used? Is it C programming or stuff like that? Thanks regards ss
