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.

As shown in the following figure, vortices are shed from the rear of a bluff cylinder placed across
a flow. The vortices alternately leave the top and bottom of the cylinder, causing an alternating
force normal to the freestream velocity. The vortex shedding frequency, f, depends on the fluid
density p, width of the cylinder d, freestream velocity V, and fluid viscosity u.
(a) Use Buckingham Pi Theorem to develop a functional relationship for f. Use M, L, t as the
primary dimensional. Use p, V, and d as the repeating parameters.
(b) Vortex shedding occurs in standard air on two cylinders with a diameter ratio of 2.
Determine the velocity ratio for dynamic similarity, and the ratio of vortex shedding
frequencies.

- 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.
