Reply To: Not being able to replicate paper simulations

[m.t.vu]

1)

The velocity at the very inlet is 0 m/s, which already seems very odd. Especially since the mass flow rate is 1.8551e-3 kg/s at the inlet.

 

2)

I did not add anything specific to ignite it (did not patch it or anything). I filled in the model, BCs, initialised it and then I ran the simulations.

 

3)

I have tried both the Heat Flux thermal condition and the Mixed thermal condition. I did not adjust any values in here, except from changing the material from aluminum to steel.

 

4)

I have tried running it for longer but the results did not seem to change.
