Since the analytical solution of Steady, Laminar, fluid flow in a smooth round pipe for a constant properties (density and viscosity) fluid has been obtained in class, consider the flow of room- temperature water in a pipe of length L = 40.0 cm and diameter D = 1.00 cm. Assume the water enters the pipe at a uniform speed equal to V = 0.055264 m/sec. From property tables, one finds the kinematic viscosity of the fluid as ν = μ/ρ = 1.005 x 10-6 m2/sec. Calculate the Reynolds number to confirm that the flow is laminar and provide reason(s) why it is laminar and not turbulent. It is assumed that the fluid exits the pipe at the pressure of the atmosphere. You are asked to set up the numerical problem to obtain the fluid dynamic solution for EACH of the following mesh selections (in Table below) in ANSYS FLUENT or SimScale. You should note and report the number of elements for each mesh type as specified. You should first determine the maximum number of elements that is allowed in your selected software before you determine the distribution of elements. You should share your mesh selections (a priori in a CANVAS mail) with the instructor and receive approval before you begin the analysis. In the ANSYS environment, you should use a module in ANSYS to generate the geometry and mesh type selections as required. In other words, do not use AUTODESK (or other non-ANSYS) software to generate geometry and import into ANSYS FLUENT. 1. Very Coarse Mesh 2. Coarse Mesh 3. Medium Mesh 4. Fine Mesh 5.
