• Use PSI system of units– Property type is AIR-IN– Density will be 1.1214E-7 (lbf-s2/in4)
– Viscosity will be 2.6240E-9 (lbf-s/in2)
• Conditions– Reference Pressure 14.7 psi– Outlet Pressure 0 psi (relative pressure)– Default Temperature used : 293K
• Flow – Velocity of 10 inch/sec -> RE ~ 424 (laminar)– Note in 2D the hydraulic diameter (used in the Reynolds

Training ManualResults
• We can’t tell the difference between the velocity vector plots, but it looks like the pressures have changed slightly.
• We also notice that the Convergence Monitors (Normalized rate of change of each DOF) have leveled off….– This implies solution is slightly oscillatory
• We will modify the input slightly, choosing the SUPG (Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin) formulation for the momentum equations…– The SUPG algorithm is less diffusive and more accurate (but
sometimes less robust) than the default algorithm (MSU - Monotone Streamline Upwind Method)
• Also, set the number of Global Iterations to 100

• We should expect a less diffusive solution, and so the re-circulation region may be better defined.

Training ManualNew Analysis
• Increase the velocity from 10 to 200 (no other changes)– This makes the Reynolds Number ~8500
• Solve the problem– Very Shortly you will get a message that either the solution has
diverged or that a negative value has been encountered in the coefficient matrix main diagonal.
• This is because the flow is now in the turbulence regime and a laminar solution will be unstable.
• So activate the turbulence model and again solve.

• Note that the maximum value of pressure is no longer at the inlet. It has moved to the outlet !!!
• Consider Bernoulli’s equation and note that in our new, higher velocity problem the relative importance of the viscosity has decreased.– The recoverable pressure due to the velocity change now
dramatically outweighs the viscous losses.
