studentFLUENT - Tutorial Library - Nozzle
Nozzle schematic.
The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate the setup and solution of an axisymmetric fluid flow through a nozzle.
The flow through a converging-diverging nozzle is one of the benchmark problems used for modeling the compressible flow through computational fluid dynamics. Occurrence of shock in the flow field displays one of the most prominent effects of compressibility over fluid flow. Accurate shock predication is a challenge to the CFD fraternity. In order to resolve the high pressure gradients we need to use some special numerical schemes along with fine grid. In some cases, local grid adaption can be helpful.
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
- Read an existing mesh file in FLUENT.
- Check the grid for dimensions and quality.
- Change the material properties.
- Perform inviscid calculations.
- Compare the results for different models.
