[ICEM] perforated circular cylindrical pipe

ankitgautam · June 23, 2016, 02:59

What would be the best strategy for blocking the geometry attached in ICEM CFD? The geometry is a perforated cylinder with axial inlet and exit through radial holes and axial top. The geometry is surrounded with the pool of same fluid that is entering the cylinder. 60 degree axial symmetry exists in the geometry.

Thanks in advance.

Depending on the difficulty of your simulation you can for tri or hexa. the 60 degrees sector is a good starting point. Now go block it !!

Share geometry if you want assistance

Thanks for quick reply, Ali.

I have tried several strategies but the problem arises when I create part separately for the blocks from fluid domain that contains the cylindrical geometry inside wall (solid) region. As soon as I do that the association changes and my mesh distorts. I have already posted the association problem in http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ans...g-problem.html that I faced and you were the one who replied (Thanks for that too).

Attaching the .step file of my geometry.

Thanks!

multiple quarter ogrids will make the things simple. take a paper and pencil and thick about the blocking strategy.

I managed to start the blocking and block on hole. it's up to you to finish it. by blocking the other holes, and adjusting the vertices, association face to surfaces if needed...

Thanks a lot, Ali and sijal.
