    Verification of Cavitation Models in ANSYS Fluent: July 2016

    Uploaded by

    alejandrovelez
    This document summarizes research to verify cavitation models in ANSYS Fluent by comparing results from built-in models to those from custom user-defined functions (UDFs) implementing the same models. It describes three common cavitation models - Schnerr and Sauer, Singhal et al., and Zwart et al. - and their equations for vaporization and condensation source terms. The goal is to validate Fluent's cavitation modeling capabilities by recreating the built-in models with UDFs and comparing the simulation results to lack similar validation studies.

    Keywords: Fluent, cavitation model, UDF

    The first step before starting of any research work is making sure about the chosen method. In analytical calculations it seems
    to be simple. First of all, the derivation of formulas and correctness of the sources, which are used to draw data, should be checked.
    In the case of numerical simulations, the control of the used methods and tools is definitely more difficult. Typically, soft wares
    do not provide possibilities of access to the data entry method. Ansys Fluent gives users information about applied methods and
    tools, but it is impossible to check, that the proposed solution way is a properly application of the presented theories. Fortunately,
    Ansys Fluent gives users a possibility to interfere in the process of solution setups and methods in form of user defined functions
    (UDF). In cavitation modelling, through UDFs can be described the mass transfer rate between liquid and vapor phases. It allows
    to compare solutions achieved in two ways: using cavitation models direct from the interface or implemented through an UDF.
    The aim of the work is to compare the results of simulation of cavitating flow based on the tutorial example [1], made using models
    from the interface and their implemented equivalents. The motivation is luck of a such work in the literature.
    In ANSYS Fluent is possible to apply from the interface three the most popular cavitation models: Schnerr and Sauer model
    [2], Singhal et al. model [3] and Zwart et al. model [4]. The source terms of the above mentioned models (for condensation –
    increase of liquid mass ( m& + ), when the local fluid pressure increases above the saturated liquid pressure and evaporation –
    decrease of liquid mass ( m& - ), when the local fluid pressure drops below the saturated liquid pressure) are collected in the Table
    1.
