fluent中多孔介質(zhì)設(shè)置問題和算例

經(jīng)過難過的一段經(jīng)歷，終于將局部問題實情大白，為了使保位同仁不再經(jīng)過我之難過，此刻將自己多孔介質(zhì)經(jīng)驗宣告以下，希望各位能加精：1。Gambit中區(qū)分網(wǎng)格以后，定義需要做為多孔介質(zhì)的地區(qū)為fluid,與缺省的fluid分別開來，再定義其名稱，我習(xí)慣將名稱定義為porous;2。在

fluent

中定義界限條件

define-boundarycondition-porous(

剛定義的名稱

)，將其設(shè)置界限條件為

fluid,

點擊

set

按鈕即彈出與

fluid

界限條件相同的對話框，選中

porouszone

與

laminar

復(fù)選框,再點擊

porouszone

標(biāo)簽即出現(xiàn)一個帶有轉(zhuǎn)動條的界面；3。porouszone設(shè)置方法：1）定義矢量：二維定義一個矢量，第二個矢量方向不用定義，是與第一個矢量方向正交的；三維定義二個矢量，第三個矢量方向不用定義，是與第一、二個矢量方向正交的；（如何知道矢量的方向：翻開grid圖，看看X,Y,Z的方向，假如是X向，矢量為1,0,0,同理Y向為0,1,0，Z向為0,0,1,假如所需要的方向與坐標(biāo)軸正向相反，則定義矢量為負(fù)）圓錐坐標(biāo)與球坐標(biāo)請參照fluent幫助。2）定義粘性阻力1/a與內(nèi)部阻力C2：請參看自己上一篇博文“終于搞清fluent中多孔粘性阻力與內(nèi)部阻力的計算方法”，此處不贅述；3）假如了定義粘性阻力1/a與內(nèi)部阻力C2,就不用定義C1與C0，由于這是兩種不一樣的定義方法，C1與C0只在冪率模型中出現(xiàn)，該處保持默認(rèn)就行了；4）定義孔隙率porousity，默認(rèn)值1表示全開放，此值按實驗測值填寫即可。完了，其余設(shè)置與一般k-e或RSM相同?？偨Y(jié)一下，與君共享!Tutorial7.ModelingFlowThroughPorousMediaIntroductionManyindustrialapplicationsinvolvethemodelingofflowthroughporousmedia,suchasfilters,catalystbeds,andpacking.Thistutorialillustrateshowtosetupandsolveaprobleminvolvinggasflowthroughporousmedia.Theindustrialproblemsolvedhereinvolvesgasflowthroughacatalyticconverter.Catalyticconvertersarecommonlyusedtopurifyemissionsfromgasolineanddieselenginesbyconvertingenvironmentallyhazardousexhaustemissionstoacceptablesubstances.Examplesofsuchemissionsincludecarbonmonoxide(CO),nitrogenoxides(NOx),andunburnedhydrocarbonfuels.Theseexhaustgasemissionsareforcedthroughasubstrate,whichisaceramicstructurecoatedwithametalcatalystsuchasplatinumorpalladium.Thenatureoftheexhaustgasflowisaveryimportantfactorindeterminingtheperformanceofthecatalyticconverter.Ofparticularimportanceisthepressuregradientandvelocitydistributionthroughthesubstrate.HenceCFDanalysisisusedtodesignefficientcatalyticconverters:bymodelingtheexhaustgasflow,thepressuredropandtheuniformityofflowthroughthesubstratecanbedetermined.Inthistutorial,FLUENTisusedtomodeltheflowofnitrogengasthroughacatalyticconvertergeometry,sothattheflowfieldstructuremaybeanalyzed.Thistutorialdemonstrateshowtodothefollowing:_Setupaporouszoneforthesubstratewithappropriateresistances._Calculateasolutionforgasflowthroughthecatalyticconverterusingthepressurebasedsolver._Plotpressureandvelocitydistributiononspecifiedplanesofthegeometry._Determinethepressuredropthroughthesubstrateandthedegreeofnon-uniformityofflowthroughcrosssectionsofthegeometryusingX-Yplotsandnumericalreports.ProblemDescriptionThecatalyticconvertermodeledhereisshowninFigure.Thenitrogenflowsinthroughtheinletwithauniformvelocityofm/s,passesthroughaceramicmonolithsubstratewithsquareshapedchannels,andthenexitsthroughtheoutlet.Whiletheflowintheinletandoutletsectionsisturbulent,theflowthroughthesubstrateislaminarandischaracterizedbyinertialandviscouslosscoefficientsintheflow(X)direction.Thesubstrateisimpermeableinotherdirections,whichismodeledusinglosscoefficientswhosevaluesarethreeordersofmagnitudehigherthanintheXdirection.SetupandSolutionStep1:GridReadthemeshfile(catalytic.File/Read/Case...Checkthegrid.Grid/CheckFLUENTwillperformvariouschecksonthemeshandreporttheprogressintheconsole.Makesurethattheminimumvolumereportedisapositivenumber.3.Scalethegrid.Grid!Scale...SelectmmfromtheGridWasCreatedIndrop-downlist.ClicktheChangeLengthUnitsbutton.Alldimensionswillnowbeshowninmillimeters.ClickScaleandclosetheScaleGridpanel.4.Displaythemesh.Display/Grid...(a)Makesurethatinlet,outlet,substrate-wall,andwallareselectedintheSurfacesselectionlist.ClickDisplay.RotatetheviewandzoomintogetthedisplayshowninFigure.ClosetheGridDisplaypanel.Thehexmeshonthegeometrycontainsatotalof34,580cells.Step2:Models2.Selectthestandardk-εturbulencemodel.Define/Models/Viscous...Step3:Materials1.AddnitrogentothelistoffluidmaterialsbycopyingitfromtheFluentDatabaseformaterials.Define/Materials...(a)ClicktheFluentDatabase...buttontoopentheFluentDatabaseMaterialspanel.i.Selectnitrogen(n2)fromthelistofFluentFluidMaterials.ii.ClickCopytocopytheinformationfornitrogentoyourlistoffluidmaterials.ClosetheFluentDatabaseMaterialspanel.(b)ClosetheMaterialspanel.Step4:BoundaryConditions.Define/BoundaryConditions...1.Settheboundaryconditionsforthefluid(fluid).SelectnitrogenfromtheMaterialNamedrop-downlist.ClickOKtoclosetheFluidpanel.2.Settheboundaryconditionsforthesubstrate(substrate).SelectnitrogenfromtheMaterialNamedrop-downlist.EnablethePorousZoneoptiontoactivatetheporouszonemodel.EnabletheLaminarZoneoptiontosolvetheflowintheporouszonewithoutturbulence.ClickthePorousZonetab.i.Makesurethattheprincipaldirectionvectorsaresetasshownin.Usethescrollbartoaccessthefieldsthatarenotinitiallyvisibleinthepanel.ii.EnterthevaluesinTablefortheViscousResistanceandInertialResistance.Scrolldowntoaccessthefieldsthatarenotinitiallyvisibleinthepanel.(e)ClickOKtoclosetheFluidpanel.3.Setthevelocityandturbulenceboundaryconditionsattheinlet(inlet).(a)Enterm/sfortheVelocityMagnitude.(b)SelectIntensityandHydraulicDiameterfromtheSpecificationMethoddropdownlistintheTurbulencegroupbox.Retainthedefaultvalueof10%fortheTurbulentIntensity.Enter42mmfortheHydraulicDiameter.ClickOKtoclosetheVelocityInletpanel.4.Settheboundaryconditionsattheoutlet(outlet).(a)Retainthedefaultsettingof0forGaugePressure.(b)SelectIntensityandHydraulicDiameterfromtheSpecificationMethoddropdownlistintheTurbulencegroupbox.Enter5%fortheBackflowTurbulentIntensity.Enter42mmfortheBackflowHy
