Computational Fluid Dynamics

CFD is use of computational methods
for solving fluid engineering systems,
including modeling (mathematical &
Physics) and numerical methods
(solvers, finite differences, and grid
generations, etc.).

Purpose of CFD
The objective of CFD is to model the continuous
fluids with Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and
discretize PDEs into an algebra problem, solve it,
validate it and achieve simulation based design
instead of build & test.
Simulation of physical fluid phenomena that are
difficult to be measured by experiments: scale
simulations (full-scale ships, airplanes), hazards
(explosions, radiations, pollution), physics (weather
prediction, planetary boundary layer, stellar
evolution).

Numerical Modeling
Mathematical physics problem formulation of fluid
engineering system
Governing
equations:
Navier-Stokes
equations
(momentum), continuity equation, pressure Poisson
equation, energy equation, ideal gas law, combustions
(chemical reaction equation), multi-phase flows(e.g.
Rayleigh equation), and turbulent models (RANS, LES,
DES).
Coordinates: Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical
coordinates result in different form of governing
equations
Initial conditions (initial guess of the solution) and
Boundary Conditions (no-slip wall, free-surface, zerogradient, symmetry, velocity/pressure inlet/outlet)
Flow conditions: Geometry approximation, domain,
Reynolds Number, and Mach Number, etc.

CFD process
CFD process is the steps to set up a problem and run the code
1. Geometry : Create the geometry you want
2. Physics : fluid properties, viscous modeling and boundary conditions
3. Mesh : coarse, medium and fine meshes
4. Solve : different solvers and numerical methods
5. Report : time history of convergence of
6. Post-Processing : visualizations (contours, vectors), validation and verification

Perangkat Lunak FLUENT

FLUENT
adalah
paket
perangkat
lunak
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) yang
digunakan untuk mensimulasikan kasus-kasus
aliran fluida.
FLUENT menggunakan metoda finite-volume
method untuk menyelesaikan persamaan yang
dibangun untuk fluida. Hal tersebut mencakup
penggunaan
berbagai
model
fisis
seperti
incompressible atau compressible, inviscid atau
viscous, laminar atau turbulent, dll.
Geometri dan pembuatan grid dibuat dengan
software GAMBIT yang merupakan pemroses awal
yang merupakan bagian dari software FLUENT.
