I hope you found this SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation tutorial helpful. That will place a time bar in your graphics area that you can play, or select certain times to look at. To see how the results change as a function of time, right click on Goal - to reach convergence as it solves for fluid behavior inside the tank. Concentrations, change Air to 0, and Helium to 1.Īdding Boundary Conditions and Settings GoalsĪdd an Inlet Volume Flow to the inner face of one of the lids.Īdd an Environmental Pressure to the inner face of the other lid. Leave defaults (Adiabatic wall and 0 micrometer roughness) Make sure all fluids used are the same type of fluid (i.e., Gases, Liquids, Non-Newtonian Liquids, Compressible Liquids, Real Gases, or Steam). SI unit system, the only thing we will be changing is the Temperature parameter from K to ✬. Below are the selections for this example analysis. Launch the Flow Simulation Wizard to get the analysis started. This fluid mixing tutorial, we are going to test a helium tank getting air pumped into one side and look at how the volume fraction changes as a function of time. For fluid mixing, all of the fluids being mixed must be in the same state. Base lining an existing fan to determine relative performance improvements would be a good first step unless you are going to calibrate the cfd to get more absolute results. Flow is part of the student and education licenses. The mixing of fluids is a phenomenon that needs to be accurately modeled in order to understand the behavior of the different fluids involved, as well as understanding the rate that the mixing happens.Īllows the use of non-newtonian fluids, gases, real gases, and liquids. Solidworks flow simulation can simulate a fan using local rotating regions.
