simulation of pressure drop through the pipe lyre

Goal of the project is to calculate pressure drop in a 3D Rectangular Channel with multiple 90 degree bends in which water is flowing with the Reynolds number of 51000. 
Further goal is  to optimize the pressure drop by adding vanes at the 90 degree channel bends.
The type of simulation is steady incompressible turbulent flow. 
5 times the hydraulic diameter extension is given as extension at the inlet in order to develop the flow and same extension is given after the real outlet in order to eliminate the impact of boundary condition on the domain of interest.

the effect of duct type and route on pressure drop

This project aims to showcase the use of vortex generators (VGs) in an incompressible flow inside a pipe.

In this project incompressible fluid flow simulation of a conical draft tube is carried out. The parameters data is collected from the course book on fluid dynamics and the validation of CFD simulation result with the theoretical result is also performed. Steady state incompressible fluid flow simulation is selected for the given case.
The draft tube is a pipe of gradually increasing area, which connects the outlet of the water turbine's runner to the tail race. Draft tube helps to convert the exit velocity head into pressure or potential head.

This project involves meshing internally a Ball Valve, and then simulating its' operation when water flows through it. A ball valve is a structure that is placed between two pipelines, connecting them through its' hollow interior by utilizing two diametrically placed holes. For this case, the floating ball has a hollow cylinder through its center, with a diameter same as the inner one of the pipelines. The Cylinder is not parallel to the pipes, and instead it is placed diagonally. A steady state incompressible flow simulation is executed to visualize the flow and its' re-circulation, as well as the critical areas of the pressure drop.

The objective of this project was to calculate the pressure drop across a ball valve using the CFD method. For this, three simulation scenarios were created: fully open valve (0 degrees), partially closed valve in 40 degrees and partially closed valve in 70 degrees.

In this project we examined the Effect of Boundary Layers on the  NACA 0012 Airfoil. In-compressible fluid flow simulation is selected for the project. Free stream velocity is selected as 10 m/s having A.O.A  10 with the airfoil.

Pipe Pressure Drop
Incompressible CFD analysis

The aim of this project is to calculate the pressure drop in turbulent flow through a straight smooth pipe. Airflow inside a smooth pipe, which has 4 mm of diameter and 2 m length, was simulated for 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 m/s inlet velocities.  Incompressible steady-state flow analysis with k-omega SST turbulence conditions is considered for the flow. The results from the CFD study are compared with those from an analytical study for validation purpose. It was noted that using SimScale even with automatic meshing as well as solver settings, high accuracy can be achieved.
