We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Thank you for showing interest in my analysis.

The choice of the turbulence model was guided by a literature review, where I found that k-epsilon RNG and k-omega SST models were commonly used for similar applications.

Should I use a different model?

My system consists of a single phase, air, and I am attaching an image showing the detail of the mesh, representing the Velocity Magnitude color map.
I'm using a hexcore mesh considering 8 boundary layers.
Specifically, in the image, I have zoomed in on the area where the air is moving from the inlet tube (at the top with flow from right to left) to the tank (at the bottom).

The flow direction is indicated by the arrows.
