Discretization Methods in CFD

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Price: Free

Discretization methods in ANSYS Fluent are crucial techniques for converting continuous fluid flow equations into solvable numerical forms. Three main gradient calculation methods are available: Green-Gauss Cell-Based, Green-Gauss Node-Based, and Least Squares Cell-Based. Pressure discretization offers five options: Second-Order, Standard, PRESTO, Linear, and Body Force Weighted schemes. Momentum discretization includes First-Order Upwind, Second-Order Upwind, QUICK, and MUSCL schemes. Choice of method depends on mesh quality, required accuracy, and available computational resources. These methods apply to various parameters including pressure, velocity, energy, turbulence, and species transport equations.

This report presents a numerical simulation study of an open channel flow interacting with a rope and sphere using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. The geometry was created in SpaceClaim, meshed in ANSYS Meshing, and the flow field was solved using ANSYS Fluent. The drag forces obtained from Fluent were applied to the rope and sphere geometry in ANSYS Transient Structural.

This is the first session of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) course, focusing on equations and numerical methods for discretization and solving them in detail. The course is designed by the Mister CFD team to help students and engineers understand the numerical techniques used in software like Ansys Fluent, rather than focusing on fundamental coding. It introduces CFD as a method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (Navier-Stokes equations) through numerical techniques, since general analytical solutions aren’t available. The document covers three main numerical methods: Finite Difference Method (FDM), Finite Volume Method (FVM), and Finite Element Method (FEM), with their advantages and limitations. It explains different types of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) including their classifications based on order, linearity, and behavior (Elliptic, Parabolic, and Hyperbolic). The content concludes with detailed explanations of conservation equations, numerical errors in CFD, and the importance of Taylor series in discretization processes.

This project analyzes the thermal load of a room/building without Phase Change Materials (PCMs) and then with PCM-integrated walls. The energy storage capacity and liquid fraction of PCM capsules are calculated to assess their impact on thermal regulation. Simulations are conducted in ANSYS Fluent to evaluate heat transfer efficiency and energy savings.

This report presents a simulation examining the difference in thermal efficiency between a conventional combustor and an AVC. The formation of NOx and its emission in these two combustion chambers have been compared. The geometry of the AVC and the conventional combustor was created using ANSYS SpaceClaim software. A high-quality hexahedral elements mesh was generated using ANSYS Meshing software. Appropriate species transport and NOx settings were applied and the thermal efficiency of the combustors and the NOx ppm was calculated.
