Thursday, May 24, 2012. Conjugate Heat Transfer in Fluent. This post is just a few tips on how to do a conjugate heat transfer simulation in ANSYS Fluent, for someone who knows how to run a simple aerodynamic case (basically know your way around the GUI), for which there are plenty of tutorials online. So more specifically we'll take the case of a simple metal block at a high temperature at t=0, and airflow around it, cooling it over time. So there are two regions, a fluid and solid region. Turns out you...

Friday, July 11, 2014. English Measurement Rounding Tool, Version 2. The input text field is the raw measurement to be rounded. The dropdown menus are to select the precision of the rounding. The answers are the rounded measurement, and the difference from the raw measurement. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Making a Two-Stroke Engine Turn the Opposite Direction. The next part I would not have guessed on my own but am doing based on the findings of one forum discussion:. First unscrew the 4 bolts attaching the cy...

Thursday, November 22, 2012. Boundary Conditions For an Open Wind Tunnel. An open wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that takes in air from the surroundings, and outputs it to the surroundings. This is in contrast to a closed wind tunnel, which recirculates the air (i.e. the outlet is connected to the inlet). The difference is mainly power savings. This article will describe the boundary conditions necessary to simulate an open wind tunnel. Knowing this we can set up proper boundary conditions for an open wind...

Sunday, March 2, 2014. Cyclorotor CFD Simulations in OpenFOAM. I ran a few simulations in OpenFOAM to explore the capabilities of the cyclorotor. Here, I will describe validation runs that show that OpenFOAM can accurately predict cyclorotor performance. I used the pimpleDyMFoam solver in PISO mode (no SIMPLE iterations) and a Spalart-Allmaras RANS turbulence model with curvature correction. Some more solver details:. Max Courant number of 2. First order in space and time. Structures. Centrifugal loa...

To all that have requested help from me directly by sending messages I hope your issues are resolved. Sorry if I never got back to you and missed your message. 1 Nested Sliding Interface Capability. I detail these reasons in the following paragraphs. Right now, I am using a canned Conjugate-Gradients (CG) algorithm by Richard Shewchuk as the solver. I plan to in the dist...

lordvon's stuff: Making a Two-Stroke Engine Turn the Opposite Direction
http://lordvon64.blogspot.com/2014/07/making-two-stroke-engine-turn-opposite.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Making a Two-Stroke Engine Turn the Opposite Direction. I have been trying to couple two TR-111 engines together symmetrically, and to do that one of them has to turn the opposite direction of the other, in order for both of them to turn the same direction on the coupled shaft. The convention for 2 stroke engines is counter-clockwise, looking from the "front" (looking at it such that the propeller / driven device is closest to you). In removing the cylinders, the gaskets will proba...
