Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the response so far, I am simulating axial fan, I tried in two ways. non of them shows good result. I feel I am extracting the result in the wrong way. You guys please help me to extract the result my problem setup is as follows 1) it is passage of a axial fan and it has 4 periodic faces 2) It has 3.1 million (3168990) cells 3) fan is rotating about Z axis positive rpm 4) inlet - flowRateInletVelocity 5) outlet - Gauge Pressure (0) 6) k-epsilon turbulence model I am measuring the static pressure as follows: 1m before the fan and 0.46m after the fan (0.46 radius of the fan) inlet static pressure (Psin) is 277Pa, outlet static pressure (Psout) is 364Pa. the static pressure raise is: Psout - Psin- dynamic pressure = 23Pa (the solution not yet converged still going on) The second way is: I have given only negative rotation (-32.2 rad/s) I checked the result like before: the static pressure raise is at maximum 145Pa but the actual should be 200Pa. can you guys please give me some information, what should I do? I have seen in the forum for actual pressure we need to multiply with density, is it applicable for my case as well? If I am calculating wrong please guide me, I am looking for some one to help me Thanks in advance, Aadhavan Last edited by Aadhavan; December 8, 2012 at 13:21. |
