Hi.
I have a problem with the reverse flow at the outlet of my geometry. I am doing a simulation to determine the water drag force on a pier inside a channel using FLUENT. I want to get the results for a Laminar flow (v=0.0001 m/sec). the simulation is going well but the drag force I got is negative, that means the reverse flow affecting on the results. I increased the elements density and I changed the geometry to be as shown in the attached picture and made the outlet far from the pier and I decreased the time step size but I still get the reverse flow warning messages. I read all the comments in this site about this problem and i did all what were suggested but unfortunately, the problem stills unsolved. Any tips please? |
