    This document outlines an individual assignment involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using ANSYS Workbench Fluent and CFX. The objectives are to simulate turbulent air flow around a truck and through an S-pipe, compare different meshing schemes and turbulence models, and analyze relevant flow characteristics. Students are asked to conduct two case studies - one on air flow past a truck and another on internal flow in an S-pipe. They must discuss meshing techniques, turbulence models, flow patterns, and answer additional questions on CFD fundamentals. The assignment should be prepared as a professional report with defined sections and submitted by the deadline.

    Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (AE-6872)


    Case Studies with ANSYS Workbench fluent and (CFX)
    Objectives
    The aims of this simulation are to
    1. Create a aerodynamic performance of vehicles simulation appropriate for turbulence
    modeling.
    2. Determine the effects of different meshing schemes.
    3. Simulate turbulent flow and compare with each other.
    4. Determine the effects of different turbulence models.
    5. Understand the relevant flow characteristics.
    6. Prepare a concise and well-written professional report.
    1. Problem Description:
    The aerodynamic performance of vehicles can be improved by utilizing
    computational fluid dynamics simulation. In this case study, we conduct fluid analysis
    of the air flow passing through a truck. Assume air at room temperature of 25°C for the
    flow field with an air velocity of 40 km/h blowing from left to right. Use nonslip
    boundary conditions along the walls of the truck and the ground surface. Find the
    airflow pattern as well as the pressure and velocity distributions of the flow field around
    the truck.

    Required Discussions
    1. Compare the following meshing schemes: (a) uniform structured quadrilateral mesh;
    (b) non-uniform structured quadrilateral mesh with mesh refinement in appropriate
    regions (with similar number of cells); and (c) unstructured triangular mesh with
    refinement in appropriate regions (with similar number of cells). Discuss the
    differences and the necessity of mesh refinement.
    2. Using the best mesh determined from (1), run the case using appropriate settings for (a)
    a standard k-e turbulence model and (b) a realizable k-e turbulence model. Determine
    which model gives the better prediction. Discuss the differences between the k-e
    models, referring to their characteristic equations.
    3. Discuss the relevant flow characteristics of the simulation

    2. Problem Description:
    Conduct fluid analysis of the air flow passing through an S-pipe. Assume
    nonslip boundary conditions along the pipe walls and the air is at a room temperature
    of 25°C. The velocity of the air is 5 mm/s at the inlet and the outlet is at atmospheric
    pressure. Determine the pressure and velocity distributions of the interior flow field.
    ➢ Using the best mesh determined from (1), run the case using appropriate settings
    for (a) a standard k-e or (k-omega ) turbulence model and (b) a realizable k-e or
    ( k- omega) turbulence model.
    ➢ Determine which model gives the better prediction.

    of non-linear equations?

    depend on the iterative concept?
