Transonic Flow Around a 2D Airfoil

This animation shows the pressure of the flow field generated by a transonic flow around a 2D airfoil. To better capture the shockwave the Ansys Fluent mesh adaptation tool was used. Depending on a specific parameter (the pressure gradient, in this case) the mesh was refined only in some locations in order to improve the quality of the solution.

Water Boiling

The animation shows a container of water at the temperature near the boiling point. The temperature of a portion of the bottom wall is above the water boiling temperature. Because of the heat transfer between the wall and the fluid, vapor bubbles form and rise due to the buoyancy. The vapor escapes through the free surface.

Modeling moving walls in CFD: Transient simulation with moving meshes

Consider the scenario where we want to know the flow field around two objects as they approach each other. Instead of keeping the model as a single domain, we can split the model such that each object is contained within a separate domain. Then in ANSYS CFX using Regions of Specified Motion, we can assign each domain a velocity V1 and V2, while also having them speak to each other via a Domain Interface. Read more

Fire Simulation and Risk Modelling

Fire engineering and risk assessment are integral parts of the design process within the Built Environment industry. Besides the obvious structural design, today's buildings pay special attention to designing a comfortable atmosphere for inhabitants, be it in terms of acoustic noise, sunlight or dispersal of dust particles exiting an air conditioning duct. Predicting temperatures and convection flow fields within an open plan office are typical engineering parameters that most designers are concerned with these days. In certain circumstances however, IDAC Ltd have been involved with modelling more severe scenarios such as fire and smoke dispersal. Read more

Analysis using ANSYS LS-DYNA This ANSYS LS-DYNA analysis demonstrates that a scraper pig, which is used to clean oil and gas pipelines, can negotiate a check valve. The forces generated between the pig and the clapper and between the clapper and the valve body are also evaluated to check the integrity of the assembly. Other analyses also show whether elongated pigs can negotiate wye pieces. Read more
