A Comparison of Cfd Software Packages’ Ability to Model a Submerged Jet

چکیده
Particle erosion from slurry flow is a common problem in many industrial applications, including the mining and the oil and gas industry. Erosion modelling is a known complex problem, and consists of three equally important parts; fluid flow modelling, particulate flow modelling, and erosion modelling. It is the first of these, the fluid flow, which is analysed here. The paper compares three different computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software packages, ANSYS Fluent, Star-CCM+ and OpenFOAM, on their ability to model the fluid phase in the submerged jet impingement test. The computational results were verified by results from an experimental rig where the fluid flow was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV). Despite the apparent simplicity of the jet impingement test, this paper highlights the difficulties of capturing the experimental results with computational methods.

During its near-ground hovering phase a Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft creates a complex three-dimensional flow field between jet streams, the airframe surface and the ground. A proper understanding and numerical prediction of this flow is important in the design of such aircraft. In this paper an experimental facility, used to gather validation data suitable for testing C...

متن کاملA CFD Coupled Acoustics Approach for the Prediction of Coaxial Jet Noise
Prediction of jet noise is important for civil aircraft. Some CAA methodologies predict the full unsteady flow field of a jet in order to ascertain the far-field noise. The approach adopted here is to utilise CFD to obtain steady state information using a turbulence model and hence to provide inputs to a semi-empirical noise model, herein after referred to as the four source model. Predictions ...
