Computational Fluid Dynamics in OpenFOAM Henrik Kaald Melbø Supervisor: Heinz Preisig Department of Chemical Engineering
Computational Fluid Dynamics Salome OpenFOAM
System: Milli-Reactor
Original Problem: To Extensive to Compute! Supercomputer Symmetry Axes
Use of Symmetry
Conductivity Sensor Problem with the old one: Not Uniform Flow!
New Design Dimensions: D = 12 mm L = 45.6 mm
Problems - Noise - Model Diverged
What I Learned - Create Geometries and Meshes - Importance of Boundary Conditions - Set up CFD Cases and Solve Them - Utilize Different Mathematical Tools - Difference Between Real Systems and Models - Ways to Speed up CFD Calculations
