Section A
Topic :2D numerical analysis of water
and oil laminar flow
Water laminar flow:
Geometry and Meshing:
For numerical analysis of water laminar
flow first step is to make geometry and
mesh it. I made a geometry of pipe and
mesh it.
Model selection:
I selected viscous laminar model.
Material and Boundary conditions:
I selected the water as a material. Boundary
conditions are that for inlet Gauge total
pressure is 66900Pa
Scheme used:
I use PISO scheme for water laminar flow.
Other schemes are:
COUPLED
SIMPLE
SIMPLEC
Initialization and calculations:
In next step I select standard initialization
with absolute reference frame .For this flow
, I select 1000 iterations.

Contours and report:

I select different contours for maximum
and minimum values at specific area.
Contour of velocity for stream function has
minimum and maximum value of zero.
In report section I slected different
quantities and find their values at specific
area.

Change in scheme:
Coupled:

Oil laminar flow:
Geometry and Meshing:
For numerical analysis of oil laminar flow
first step is to make geometry and mesh it.
I made a geometry of pipe and mesh it.
Model selection:
I selected viscous laminar model.
Material and Boundary conditions:
I selected oil as a material. Boundary
conditions are that for inlet Gauge total
pressure is 64800Pa.
Scheme used:
I use COUPLED scheme for oil laminar flow.
Initialization and calculations:
In next step I select standard initialization
with absolute reference frame .For this flow
, I select 1000 iterations.
Contours and report:
I select different contours for maximum
and minimum values at specific area.

Contour of pressure for relative total

pressure has minimum value of 615.8kPa
and maximum value of 648kPa.
In report section I slected different
quantities and find their values at specific
area.

Discussion:
The analysis was done using three different
methods. The main purpose of this project
is to understand the working of fluent and
to compare different methods to analyze
best outcomes in order to understand
which method is best. After observing the
result of simple, piso and coupled ,it is clear
that coupled scheme is best as the results
was converged easily. After coupled, next
best scheme is piso. It does not produce
good result as compared to coupled , but
the result convergence is better than simple
scheme.
PISO & COUPLED scheme generally is more
aggressive and converge faster than
SIMPLE per iteration cycle, but SIMPLE is
computationally much quicker and the
overall computational cost with SIMPLE can
allow you to perform more iterations faster
than you would be able to with PISO or
COUPLED. PISO and COUPLED are
generally preferred for transient simulations.
