    The document provides instructions for completing a tutorial to obtain the steady state solution for 2D laminar duct flow using ANSYS Fluent. The steps include: 1) building a 2D rectangular duct geometry, 2) generating a face mesh, 3) setting boundary conditions and running the calculation, and 4) post-processing the results to produce a vector field, streamlines, and velocity profile plot. Completing the tutorial will provide experience with pre-processing, solving, and visualizing CFD simulations of duct flow.

    AMME5202 Tutorial 1: Two-Dimensional Laminar Duct

    Flow

    Complete by your Lab class in Week 4

    Objective

    Figure 1: Two-dimensional laminar duct with an inlet velocity, uinlet = 0.001ms−1

    Obtain the steady state solution for the 2D laminar duct flow given in Figure 1 with the spec-
    ified initial conditions. Show the tutor that you have produced;

    ˆ Vector field of the converged solution


    ˆ Streamlines of the converged solution
    ˆ A 2D plot of the u−velocity (x-axis) versus the height of duct, y (y-axis)

    Experimental Setup

    Starting ANSYS Fluent

    1. Press the start button (windows logo) and launch ANSYS 19.2 > Workbench
    2. Drag and drop Fluid Flow (FLUENT) from the Analysis Systems window onto the
    Project Schematics window
    3. Right click on Geometry cell and select New DesignModeler Geometry

    Pre-Processing

    4. Under Tree Outline, RMB (Right Mouse Button) on the XY Plane, and select Look At
    5. Select Sketching > Rectangle
    6. Create rectangle on the graphics window, click to select 1st point, move cursor, click to
    select 2nd point (Note: Don’t drag cursor with the button held down)
    7. Select Dimension in the Sketching Toolbox window
    8. In the graphics window LMB (Left Mouse Button) down on vertical side of the rectangle,
    drag, add dimension in the details view
    9. Repeat for horizontal side
    10. Use Modify > Drag to move the rectangle, put the bottom left corner on the origin.
    (RMB in the graphics window, zoom to fit)
    11. Use Dimension > Move to move dimension labels (if necessary)
    12. Select Modelling tab in the Tree Outline > sketch 1 (under the XY Plane)
    13. Select the tab in the upper left of the screen Concept > Surfaces from Sketches
    14. In the Details View select Apply then Generate

    You should now have a 2D rectangular surface (See Figure ??)

    15. Now close the Design Modeller and return to the workbench program, you should see a
    green tick next to the Geometry option within your project
    16. Double click on Mesh
    17. In the Outline Tree select Geometry
    18. Choose Edge Select in the toolbar
    19. In the geometry window select the inlet edge (vertical line on the left)
    20. RMB Create Named Selection, type INLET
    21. Repeat for outlet (right vertical line) and label OUTLET
    22. Repeat for the top and bottom horizontal lines and label WALL (note: hold the ctrl
    when selecting the edges to select multiple)
    23. Click on Mesh in the Outline Tree
    24. In the mesh window, use Face Select and choose the entire rectangle face
    25. RMB Insert > Face Meshing
    26. Select Mesh in the Outline Tree
    27. Under Details of Mesh > Defaults, set Element Size to 0.01
    28. Select Generate, You should now have a meshed rectangle (See Figure ??)
    29. Select Update to make the mesh available for processing using Fluent

    Figure 3: Basic mapped face mesh of the rectangular duct

    30. Close the meshing program and return to the workbench, you should see a green tick next
    to the Mesh option within your project

    Processing

    31. Double click Setup


    32. At the prompt make sure the Double Precission option is selected
    33. Select Parallel under Processing Options and enter a number of processes to use.
    Typically one process is used for each logical processor of your workstation. You can use
    4 processes if you are not sure.

    34. Press OK
    35. Under Solution Setup on the left hand side click Boundary Conditions > INLET >
    Edit > set inlet velocity to 0.001ms−1
    36. Under Solution > Solution Initialisation > Initialisation (choose Hybrid Ini-
    tialisation)
    37. Solution > Run Calculation > Number of Iterations enter: 100. Note that this
    is a somewhat arbitrary number. We want the simulation to end when the residuals
    have reached the convergence criteria, not the iteration limit. If the simulation reaches
    the iteration limit before reaching convergence, increase the number of iterations and
    continue.
    38. Calculate
    39. Once the solution is complete close the Fluent module and return to the workbench

    Post-Processing

    40. Double click the Results option in the project to launch CFD-Post
    41. Select Location and choose Plane > Plane 1 > OK
    42. Select Vectors icon > Location > Plane 1 > Apply

    You should see a vector field which will look similar to what has been shown in the
    lectures. Save this image either by the capture option within CFD-Post or by other
    means.
    43. Similarly choose the Streamlines icon > Location > INLET > Apply

    You should see a set of lines with different colours (indicating a change in magnitude)
    that extend from the inlet to the outlet. Save this image either by the capture option
    within CFD-Post or by other means.
    44. Select Location icon in the toolbar > Line > Line 1 > OK
    45. Select the newly created line and input the coordinates of Pt1 and Pt2 (Suggestion: you
    want to choose entire duct height halfway down the duct, i.e. x = 0.5m) > Apply
    46. Create a chart by selecting the icon
    47. Data Series > Location > Line 1
    48. X-Axis > U Velocity
    49. Y-Axis > Y
    50. Apply

    You should see a profile very similar to what has been shown in the lectures. Save this
    image either by the capture option within CFD-Post or by other means.

    In case you need to revisit this set-up (Hint: you will), save all the files by selecting save
    project in the workbench program and save to a USB, etc as files are not stored on the
    University computers after logout.
