I want to simualte air flow pattern in a muffler.For that i will monitor value of pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet
Turbulence Model-SST Fluid-Air at 25 Degree Celsius Boundary Conditions: mass flow rate-inlet-0.2194kg/sec pressure-outlet-Relative static pressure is set to 0 Pa I defined a expression in CFX as areaAve(Pressure)@REGION:INLET-areaAve(Pressure)@REGION:OUTLET Now what my problem is CFX reports the value of Pressure drop to be 1.2E-08 !! Could anybody please help me in this regard? Last edited by raghulvr; April 18, 2016 at 22:18. |

This is an FAQ: http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Ansys..._inaccurate.3F
Some possibilities: * What units is the 1.2e-8 in? * Did you set the flow rate and geometry size correctly? * What is the dynamic head at the inlet and outlet? Does that explain the difference? * Otherwise the FAQ lists lots of other issues. Inadequate mesh resolution is the problem in 95% of questions on accuracy in my experience, by the way |

the difference in dynamic head between inlet and the outlet is 4.700KPa-this is result given in the literature

I would suggest a pressure inlet, mass flow outlet
inlet pressure- 1 atm (101325 Pa) To monitor pressure drop in the system, Total Pressure would do fine. (massFlowAve(Total Pressure in Stn Frame )@Inlet - massFlowAve(Total Pressure in Stn Frame )@Outlet) Try using this expression Cheers! |
