Great program. I see many uses and like the functionality. I am new to CFD and am trying model a canister filter that has a 4 inch port to 200 mH2O vacuum and a 2.5 inch port to atmosphere. It models well with just the two ports. When I add a dip tube 8 inches into the many canister body I can not …

Hi! Having a look at the diagrams, the last simulation run shows the exact behavior that you described: [image] The issue with some of the other simulations that you ran is that you were also selecting the side face of the dip tube as an inlet. This was causing a weird flow pattern: [image] N…

Hi there, could you add an image to show how the fluid is expected to flow inside the model? Best regards, Fillia

Actually I got it to work well. But now I need to make changes as I have to add a diverter and a baffle. I struggle with how to build the model so that it simulated properly. Maybe I have missed it but a tutorial on model building would be greatly helpful to demonstrate the concepts. On You Tube sh…

For our simple model here is the air flow. [flow path example] Eventually we would like to model the filter with a baffle an diverter. On thei next picture you can \see the diverter at the box of the dip tube and the horizontal baffle. [flow path example2] I hope this helps

I sent the request diagrams, do you have any further comments.

Thanks! I figured out the correct faces and the velocities are very high. I have the incorrect vacuum level and will fix that. But my real need is to understand how to construct the model using solidworks. My first attempt was to use a model constructed using the rotated Boss command to produce th…

Hello! The logic with geometries is pretty simple: for CFD, we are interested in obtaining the results in the fluid domain, so the base CAD model for a CFD simulation should contain the flow region, and not the solid walls. If you have the solid walls of the model instead of the fluid domain, then…

Do anyone of you any idea about the best canoster filters for 55 gallon tanks?

Here I have a list containing various ideas about canister filter for 55 gallon tanks. But I’m not sure which one is best, if possible then please help me out. Jinda
