INDIVIDUAL Project Parts A & B 2024

The document describes two FLUENT simulation projects. Project A involves simulating laminar and turbulent flow over a flat plate for air and water, comparing results between the two fluids and flow regimes. Project B involves simulating compressible flow through an axisymmetric converging-diverging nozzle, running cases with different back pressures and analyzing the results.

Project Part A – FLUENT

Consider laminar flow on a smooth heated flat plate (see Fig). Using FLUENT run
cases for two fluids: air and water. The inlet velocity is adjusted such that the
Reynolds number for the air and water cases are approximately equal. Compare the
99 percent temperature thickness at the end of the plate to the 99 percent velocity
thickness. Discuss your results. (Hint: What is the Prandtl number of air and of
water?) – Choose appropriate L to keep the Flow laminar. – Also, Do a grid
independence study.

Now for air only, run the same case for turbulent flow (Choose appropriate Re).
Discuss the differences between the laminar and turbulent calculations. Specifically,
which regime (laminar or turbulent) produces the largest variation between 99
percent temperature thickness and 99 percent velocity thickness? Explain.
• Run 4 different turbulence models including standard k-𝜖 and standard k-𝜔
models and compare results, grid requirements and convergence for each
of them.
• Calculate the friction factor and Heat transfer coefficient for all cases (Lam
and Turb).
• What would be the effect of changing the Symmetry BC on the Northern
Boundary to far field – or pressure Boundary conditions
Project Part B – FLUENT

Consider compressible flow of air through an axisymmetric converging–diverging


nozzle. The computational domain is shown in Fig. The inlet radius is 0.10 m, the
throat radius is 0.075 m, and the outlet radius is 0.12 m. The axial distance from the
inlet to the throat is 0.30 m—the same as the axial distance from the throat to the
outlet.
At the pressure inlet boundary, the stagnation pressure P0, inlet is set to 220 kPa
(absolute), the static pressure Pinlet is set to 210 kPa, and the stagnation temperature
T0, inlet is set to 300 K.
• Set the static pressure Pb at the pressure outlet boundary to 50.0 kPa (Pb /P0,
inlet = 0.227)—low enough that the flow is supersonic through the entire
diverging section of the nozzle, without any normal shocks in the nozzle.
• Run a series of cases in which back pressure Pb is varied, while keeping all
other boundary conditions fixed. use Pb = (a) 100, (b) 150, and (c) 200 kPa,
i.e., Pb /P0, inlet= (a) 0.455, (b) 0.682, and (c) 0.909, respectively.
• Find the location of the shock in each case and compare find the variation
P/P0,inlet and Ma along the length of the nozzle.
(Validate your results and make sure they are grid independent)
