ACU-T: 4101 T-Junction Flow using the Eulerian Multiphase Model
Prerequisites
This tutorial provides the instructions for setting up and running a basic transient multiphase simulation using the Eulerian multiphase model. Prior to starting this tutorial, you should have already run through the introductory tutorial, ACU-T: 1000 Basic Flow Set Up, and have a basic understanding of HyperMesh CFD and AcuSolve. To run this simulation, you will need access to a licensed version of HyperMesh CFD and AcuSolve.
Problem Description
Start HyperMesh CFD and Open the HyperMesh Database
Validate the Geometry
The Validate tool scans through the entire model, performs checks on the surfaces and solids, and flags any defects in the geometry, such as free edges, closed shells, intersections, duplicates, and slivers.
Set Up Flow
Set the General Simulation Parameters
Assign Material Properties
Define Flow Boundary Conditions
Generate the Mesh
Define Nodal Outputs
Run AcuSolve
Post-Process the Results with HM-CFD Post
Summary
In this tutorial, you learned how to set up and solve a multiphase flow simulation using the Eulerian multiphase model available in AcuSolve using HyperMesh CFD. You started by importing the HyperMesh CFD input database and then defined the flow setup. Once the solution was computed, you created a contour plot of velocity and field volume fraction using HyperMesh CFD Post.
