Introduction of background knowledge regarding flow physics and CFD as well as detailed information about the use of AcuSolve and what specific options do.
Collection of AcuSolve simulation cases for which results are compared against analytical or experimental results to demonstrate the accuracy
of AcuSolve results.
This section includes validation cases that consider unbounded simulation domains where external flow is present over
solid bodies, leading to free boundary layer development.
This section includes validation cases containing conditions producing laminar to turbulent flow that are simulated
with a turbulence transition model.
This section includes validation cases that consider time dependent motion within the domain, requiring that the mesh
movement be modeled with a differential equation, a fully defined mesh motion or by interpolated mesh motion.
In this application, AcuSolve is used to simulate the collapse of a water column surrounded by air. AcuSolve results are compared with experimental results adapted from Rodriguez and others (2013). The close agreement
of AcuSolve results with experimental results validates the ability of AcuSolve to model multiphase flow problems.
In this application, AcuSolve is used to simulate the changes in wall temperature due to two-phase nucleate boiling at the heated walls of a pipe
with water flowing through it. AcuSolve results are compared with experimental results adapted from Koncar and others (2015). The close agreement of
AcuSolve results with experimental results validates the ability of AcuSolve to model two-phase nucleate boiling problems.
Collection of AcuSolve simulation cases for which results are compared against analytical or experimental results to demonstrate the accuracy
of AcuSolve results.
This section includes validation cases that consider the immiscible multiphase
interaction of two fluids.
Multiphase Flow of a 2D Dam Break
In this application, AcuSolve is used to simulate the collapse of a water column surrounded by air. AcuSolve results are compared with experimental results adapted from Rodriguez and others (2013). The close agreement of AcuSolve results with experimental results validates the ability of AcuSolve to model multiphase flow problems.
Two-Phase Nucleate Boiling in a Cylindrical Pipe
In this application, AcuSolve is used to simulate the changes in wall temperature due to two-phase nucleate boiling at the heated walls of a pipe with water flowing through it. AcuSolve results are compared with experimental results adapted from Koncar and others (2015). The close agreement of AcuSolve results with experimental results validates the ability of AcuSolve to model two-phase nucleate boiling problems.
