UDF for a fully-developed velocity profile at inlet – 3D Pipe

    • Shak
      Subscriber

      Hello,

      I need to specify a boundary condition at the inlet region of a 3D pipe.

      At the inlet, I want to specify a fully developed velocity profile using UDF.

      Please, could someone give me information about this?

      Thank you.

      Hi,

      Please refer 8.2. Detailed UDF Examples (ansys.com) the information from UDF manual.

      Hope this helps you.

      You can aslo consider using Fluent Expressions instead of UDF as alternative. Example is availble in Fluent User's Guide.

      Hello Sirs,
      First, thank you very much for answering me.
      I am currently modeling a fluid of solid particles and air with those characteristics:
      Particle --> diameter 0.0002m
      Volume fraction--> 0.0012
      Specularity coefficient --> 0.002
      Pressure gradient --> 198.56 Pa/m

      I am using the DDPM model, but I still have some doubts:

      - How could I enter the volume fraction? (I only find the option of total mass flow rate)

      - How could I enter the pressure gradient? (I only see the option for Initial pressure)

      - How could I enter the coefficient of restitution between the particles and the wall? 

      Thanks.
