Tutorial project for a flow analysis of a pipe junction. The project only provides the geometry to start with. See our tutorials section to have a look at the step-by-step instructions to set up the simulation.

Simulating the cooling in a high-speed tyre with high values of g

Heat flow in a high-speed tyre with high g due to rotation

Tutorial: Incompressible turbulent airflow around a spoiler

To find the drag for a Hyperloop pod, 1.8m dia, in a 2.6m tube. With the 2:1 tube/pod area ratio, the airflow in the narrow throat is faster or more compressed. The vacuum, about 100Pa (1/1000 atm), will reduce the drag forces. Would like speeds up to 250 m/s, but it's challenging with maybe transonic flow in the throat.

To find forces on disc at low ambient pressures

Hyperloop is high speed at very low pressure. This shows a 1.85m dia pod in a 2.6m tube, with a 2:1 tube/pod area ratio. There is increase in air velocity thru the narrow throat. 
The objective is to find the drag at speeds up to 200m/s and pressure 100 Pa (1/1000 atm). Maybe too ambitious for SimScale due to the transonic flow in the throat.
