Dear ANSYS,nI am to simulate the flow of an hot fluid from a reservoir to a pump at a distance >20 meters. The working temperature of the fluid is about 190 degrees C. I am familiar with the standard flow simulation to visualize the flow field from the velocity and pressure contours. I am however a rookie on hot fluid flow simulation.nPlease how do I formulate the flow to include temperature of the fluid and be able to visualize temperatures at points of interest, as well as pressures and velocities of the flow?nThe flow domain is about 24 meters long and a nominal diameter of 0.6 meters. I plan to model the domain as axisymmetric, and equally split up the domain into lengths, so as to apply outlet value(s) from previous simulation as inlet for the next, until I obtain the parameters of interest at the end point. Please is this arrangement alright, or there is an optimal way of working with this long asymmetric length of the domain?nThe domain includes bends, contractions and valves. I wanted to simulate on 2D; however, unsure as to how to work through the bends. Please is there a way around this, does this have to be a 3D simulation?nMany thanks for your anticipated guidance.nAyodele1. n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51159","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
