Trees simulation in the incompresible (LBM) enviroment

Project Support
1

I have a problem with the core hours in this proyect. It consist in simulating a 3D model of a tree, the type of simulation is incompresible (LBM).

I made two diferent resolutions for the 3D model, the simulation execution time and mesh count didn´t change, in the following image i will exibit the trees

Img 2. Low resolution tree

I reduce all parameters that i can and the simulation didn´t become more lighter. What i can do in this case? The simulation set up is the following.

Hi,

As outlined in the academic program page, incompressible LBM is not available in the academic program.

As such, you would have to look for different analysis types (e.g. incompressible). Side note: this flow domain is extremely small. For instance, see this tutorial for reference: https://www.simscale.com/docs/tutorials/aerodynamic-simulation-vehicle/
