Chapter 15, Problem 46CP
Gerry creates the computational domain sketched in Fig. P1 5-46C to simulate flow through a sudden contraction in a two-dimensional duct. He is interested tithe time-averaged pressure drop and the minor loss coefficient created by the sudden contraction. Gerry generates a grid and calculates the flow with a CFD code, assuming stead, turbulent. incompressible flow (with a turbulence model).
(a) Discuss one way that Gerry could improve his computational domain and grid so that be would get the some results in approximate) half the computer time.
(b) There may be a fundamental flaw in how Germ’ has set up his computational domain. What is ir? Discuss what should be different about Gerry’s setup.

First Order Differential Equations are inherent in almost all aspects of engineering, e.g., electronics (RC/RL circuits or charge/discharge of capacitors), thermodynamics (i.e., Newton’s Law of Cooling), mechanical systems (stress/strain) etc. In fact, virtually anywhere there are time varying dynamics. You need to demonstrate how different engineering systems models are used to solve them using first-order differential equations.

- An incompressible CFD code is used to simulate the flow of gasoline through a two-dimensional rectangular channel in which there is a large circular settling chamber. Flow enters from the left and exits to the right as shown. A time-averaged turbulent flow solution is generated using a turbulence model. Top–bottom symmetry is assumed. Inlet velocity V is known, and outlet pressure Pout is also known. Generate the blocking for a structured grid using four-sided blocks, and sketch a coarse grid using four-sided cells, being sure to cluster cells near walls. Also be careful to avoid highly skewed cells.

- can you please do all of them. thank youarrow_forwardThe center of mass for a human body can be determined by a segmental method. Using cadavers, it is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than 10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk, two arms, and two legs. Search y X As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 56%, and the two legs are 24%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (0, 165), arms = (0, 115), trunk = (0, 95), and legs = (0, 35).
