DAY 1
LAMINAR FLOW IN A PIPE
PROBLEM SPECIFICATION
We'll verify the results by following a systematic process which includes comparing
the results with the analytical solution in the full-developed region.
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
STEP 1 : GEOMETRY
MAKING A PIPE USING COORDINATES FEATURE
STEP 2 : BLOCKING AND MESHING
Using blocking feature for meshing.
Associate edges of block to edges of
geometry(curves) and vertices association.
Deciding mesh law, no. of nodes and spacing
for different edges
STEP 3 : SIMULATION USING ANSYS FLUENT
Choose axis symmetric and pressure based solver
Select material properties and boundary
conditions according to the problem.
initialize and run calculations after giving no. of
iterations
STEP 4 : RESULTS AND VALIDATION
Developing( left ) and developed( right ) velocity
profiles
Pressure contour
Velocity contour
velocity profile along the radius of the pipe
Axial velocity profile along centerline
Difference in mass flow rate of in and out is of the
order 10-12 kg/sec, confirming that simulation satisfies
mass conservation.
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND VELOCITY PROFILE
The simulation results closely matched the analytical
solution for fully developed laminar pipe flow,
validating the mesh and solver settings
DAY 2
TURBULENT FLOW IN A 2D PIPE
PROBLEM SPECIFICATION
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
STEP 1 : GEOMETRY
MAKING A PIPE USING COORDINATES FEATURE
STEP 2 : BLOCKING AND MESHING
USING BLOCKING FEATURE FOR MESHING
ASSOCIATING EDGES AND VERTICES OF BLOCK
TO THE GEOMERRY ( CURVE)
Appropriate no. of nodes, spacing, and mesh laws
were assigned to each edge to ensure accuracy and
refinement.
STEP 3 : SIMULATION USING ANSYS FLUENT
Choose axis symmetric and pressure based solver.
Select k-omega or k-epsilon with enhanced wall
treatment as viscous model.
Select material properties and boundary
conditions according to the problem.
Initialize and run calculations
STEP 4 : RESULTS
Velocity contour
velocity profile
Skin friction coefficient along the wall
Velocity magnitude curve along centerline
Wall Y plus curve
Difference in mass flow rate of in and out is of the
order 10-12 kg/sec, confirming that simulation
satisfies mass conservation.
COMPARING VELOCITY PROFILE FOR
DIFFERENT VISCOUS MODELS
The results are almost same for all viscous models.
DAY 3
3D BLOCKING MESHING USING 0-GRID
Step 1: Geometry and Blocking Setup
Circular and square geometries were created in
ICEM.
Initial blocks created and then split to prepare for O-
grid.
Step 2: O-Grid Implementation
Applied O-Grid splitting around the inner circular
surface to create layers wrapping concentrically.
This improves resolution near the wall (important
for accurate y+ values in turbulence modeling).
Step 3: Edge Parameter Setup
edge divisions applied with biasing to refine mesh
near wall regions.
Edge parameters defined along radial, axial, and
circumferential directions.
Step 4: Mesh Generation
Mesh generated after setting blocking associations.

STEP 1 : GEOMETRY
2D profile of nozzle was revolved 360
degrees around the X-axis (axis of symmetry)
to generate a full 3D nozzle geometry.
STEP 2 : BLOCKING AND MESHING

STEP 3: Physical Setup in Ansys Fluent
Set the solver to density based type .
Turn on the Energy equation as we are dealing
with compressible flow.
Inlet and Outlet Boundary Conditions
For walls- No slip condition.
Set centerline to be axis as we are assuming
axisymmetric case.

STEP 4: RESULTS
Static Pressure Contour
Static Temperature Contour
Mach no. Contour
Difference in mass flow rate of in and out is of the
order 10^-9 kg/sec, confirming that simulation
satisfies mass conservation.
The Mach contour shows a clear supersonic expansion
in the diverging section, validating expected nozzle
