https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/SIMULATION/FLUENT+Learning+Modules
Tuesday:
8AM: Begin first Tutorial from Cornell:
1) Flat Plate Boundary Layer
Key Points to take away:
Geometry-surface from sketch
Meshing-edge sizing
What is a Bias Factor? The ratio of the longest division and the shortest division
Fluent- 64 bits for double precision and 32 bits for single-precision The downside of using double precision is that it requires more memory.
Fluent- Plotting from Blasius direct theoretical solution
When Plotting make sure to rename whatever plot ending in “.xy” as you plot in the XY PLOT section
2) Steady and Unsteady Flow past a cylinder
Key Points to take away:
geometry- create surface from sketch.
2D model
Boolean operation (subtration-create)-outer surface body as target body
inner surface body as tool body
Sketching line on y-axis of both circles and trim away outer and inner part to creat two lines
concept--> line from sketch to create the line body
tools--> projection for surface body as target and two lines as the edge
Mesh-18432 elements
192 circumferential divisions;96 radial divisions
Mapface meshing/ Biasing to increase number of elements close to cylinder
Radial edge sizing; type=number of divisions=96
Behavior=hard; Bias type=___ __ _ Bias factor= 460
Create named selections: farfield 1, farfield 2, cylinderwall and in fluent it creates the interiors themselves.
Fluent:
cylinderwall=type=wall
farfield= type=velocity inlet=1m/s
farfiled2=pressure outlet
interior surfacebody; surface body
Reference value=density=1kg/m^3
viscosity=0.05kg/m*s
momentum=second order upwind scheme
Residuals--> xvelocity=1e-6; yvelocity=1e-6 (for absoulte criterion)
Monitors=Drag=EDIT=print to console and plot
solution initialization=1m/s (x-direction)
number of iterations= 2,000
solution converged after 1647 iterations.
Same geometry and mesh as steady state flow past a cylinder
FLUENT
solution-monitors-lift-ck print to console and write
soln initialization-adapt-region- xmin=0.5m, xmax=32m, ymin=0, ymax=032m
click mark then click close
soln-soln initialization-set compute from the farfield1-click initiate
patch-value-0.2 highlight the zone to patch, hexahedron, and yvelocity
ADVANCE SOLUTION IN TIME
soln-run calculation-time step size=0.2sec
number of time steps=200 click to calculate. Now, have a bottle of Mountain Due
Continue time stepping until you get sinusoidal variation in the lift coefficient
3) Flow over a wing

4) Forced and Steady Convection
https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/SIMULATION/FLUENT+-+Forced+Convection+-+Problem+Specification ; https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/SIMULATION/ANSYS+WB+-+2D+Steady+Convection+-+Problem+Specification

These two programs are used for building the model and the mesh used in the analysis, and there is no room for error.
Spend at least two to three days, if not a full week, on learning the Ansys 13 program and finishing all of the tutorials. Afterwards, begin research project.
