ACU-T: 4300 Species Transport Modeling
This tutorial provides instructions for modeling species transport using HyperWorks CFD. Prior to starting this tutorial, you should have already run through the introductory tutorial, ACU-T: 1000 Basic Flow Set Up, and have a basic understanding of HyperWorks CFD and AcuSolve. To run this simulation, you will need access to a licensed version of HyperWorks CFD and AcuSolve.
Prior to running through this tutorial, copy HyperWorksCFD_tutorial_inputs.zip from <Altair_installation_directory>\hwcfdsolvers\acusolve\win64\model_files\tutorials\AcuSolve to a local directory. Extract ACU-T4300_HoneyTeaSpecies.hm from HyperWorksCFD_tutorial_inputs.zip.
Problem Description
Start HyperWorks CFD and Open the HyperMesh Database
Validate the Geometry
Set Up Flow
Set the General Simulation Parameters
Assign Material Properties
Define Flow Boundary Conditions
Define Nodal Initial Conditions
Run AcuSolve
Post-Process with AcuProbe
As the solution progresses, the AcuTail and AcuProbe windows are launched automatically. The surface output and residual ratios can be monitored using AcuProbe.
Post-Process the Results with HW-CFD Post
Summary
In this tutorial, you successfully learned how to set up and solve a simulation involving species transport using HyperWorks CFD. You started by opening the HyperMesh input file with the geometry and then defined the simulation parameters, fluid material, and boundary conditions. Once the solution was computed, you visualized the results of species transport with help of planes and an iso-surface.
