Euh, just do it?
Make a model of a pipe, mesh it, apply boundary conditions, etc, just like in any other CFD problem. If you have problems, be more specific. |

Thanks dear pakk
I have problem with boundary condition and meshing of this There are two flows, first in pipe and second on pipe. Should i mesh domain separately? Last edited by amir_14; July 9, 2014 at 17:11. |

hey dear Amir,
You surely need to define separate zones in this case you've defined. I had the same experience and suggest you mesh them separately in Ansys Meshing soft and then first read one of the mesh in Fluent and append the other mesh in Fluent as described below: In Fluent (15) -> Mesh/zone/append case file now in the cell zone conditions you can manage each zone separately. I forgot to mention it's better to name each face in Ansys Meshing or Design Modeler before updating meshes to have comfort in applying boundary conditions. Good Luck |
