We'll verify the results by following a systematic process which includes comparing the results with the analytical solution in the full-developed region. We'll solve this problem numerically using ANSYS Fluent. Take density ρ = 1 kg/ m 3 and coefficient of viscosity µ = 2 x 10 -3 kg/(m*s). These parameters have been chosen to get a desired Reynolds number of 100 and don't correspond to any real fluid. The pressure at the pipe outlet is 1 atm. The pipe diameter D = 0.2 m and length L = 3 m Consider the inlet velocity to be constant over the cross-section and equal to 1 m/s. The pressure drop in circular pipes is calculated using Darcy-Weisbach equation: The flow is considered laminar when Re<2300. In these equations, is the average roughness of the interior surface of the pipe. Both give equivalent results well within experimental uncertainty. This module is drawn from MAE 4230/5230 Intermediate Fluid Dynamics at Cornell University.Ĭonsider fluid flowing through a circular pipe of constant radius as illustrated below. ReIn turbulent flow we can use either the Colebrook or the Zigrang-Sylvester Equation, depending on the problem. Connect the ANSYS steps to concepts covered in the Computational Fluid Dynamics section.Verify the numerical results from ANSYS Fluent.Develop the numerical solution to a laminar pipe flow problem in ANSYS Fluent. A characteristic of Birds work was taking the time to explore alternative ways to describe a problem and refine the results into elegant and readable formulas. In turbulent flow eddies of many sizes are superimposed onto the mean flow. The flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in a circular pipe is a classic introductory transport phenomena problem, familiar to readers of Robert Byron Bird textbooks. In laminar flow the fluid particles follow the streamlines exactly, as shown by the linear dye trace in the laminar region. Laminar flow in a straight pipe may be considered as the relative motion of a set of concentric cylinders of fluid, the outside one fixed at the pipe wall. The straight, parallel black lines are streamlines, which are everywhere parallel to the mean flow. The edX interface provides a better user experience, so we have moved the module there. Tracer transport in laminar and turbulent flow. These analyses are numerically conducted for pipe and channel flows over a large frequency range in a comparative manner.This module is from our free online simulations course at edX.org (sign up here). It is shown that two reversal locations away from the wall can occur in pulsating flows in pipes and channels and the reversed amount of mass per period reaches a maximum at a certain dimensionless frequency for a given amplitude of mass-flow rate fluctuations. Laminar Flow INC provides high-quality, practical, and cost-effective solutions for the Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industries. Special attention has been given to the scaling laws describing the flow reversal phenomenon occurring in pulsating flows, such as the condition for flow reversal, the dependency of the reversal duration, and the amplitude. Utilizing the analytical results, the scaling laws for dimensionless pulsation amplitudes of the velocity, mass-flow rate, pressure gradient, and wall shear stress are analyzed as functions of the dimensionless pulsation frequency. The explicit interdependence between pulsations of velocity, mass-flow rate, pressure gradient, and wall shear stress are shown by using the proper dimensionless parameters that govern the flow. An analytical solution of the velocity profile for arbitrary time-periodic pulsations is derived by approximating the pulsating flow variables by a Fourier series. Analytical investigations are carried out on pulsating laminar incompressible fully developed channel and pipe flows.
