SubscriberHi all
I'm simulating the suppressor in ANSYS Fluent and I have problems with my results.
suppressor is fed by a gear pump, and the mean mass flow rate is 2.87 kg/s. We extract the mass flow and velocity using sensors. You can see the setup of the experiment here:
At the first step, I used the simple geometry that included the simple pipe with the chamber in the middle to see the pressure difference before and after the chamber, but to get a constant pressure at the outlet, I used an orifice with a diameter of 5.8 meters, and after the orifice, I extended the geometry to have a fully developed rejime and set a constant pressure of 5 bars for the outlet. I use a velocity inlet with UDF to set the inlet as a pulsative velocity. Here are my UDF and geometry.
After this, I extract the pressure-time charts before and after the chamber, as well as at the inlet and after the orifice. but the pressure amplitude is very high, and I don't know why. My fluid is hydraulic oil with an 850 Kg/m^3 density and 0.039 dynamic viscosity. My frequency is 2356 rad/s (you can see it in Velocity UDF). I use 1e-6s for the time step. Here are my results.
Anyone who can help me decrease the amplitude of pressure or tell me where I am doing wrong???
pressure400=pressure after chamber
Pressure 700=pressure after orifice
pressure150=pressure before chamber

Forum ModeratorIf you plot the velocity curve you're adding to Fluent (in Excel) and also plot the value from the inlet (surface report) how do they compare?

SubscriberDear Rob.
During the solve, I record the pressure at several points, including the inlet and 150, 450, and 650 mm away from the inlet. When I was done, I combined all of these variables into a single Excel file so that I could compare the pressures at different points.

Forum ModeratorOK, and how does the velocity look?
