New Code Saturne tutorial online

Claus,

My files uploaded are located here:

www.caelinux.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Imagelist

A few notes on these:

1. It seems that the previous simulations ( yours and mine) are off on the density - we both inadvertantly used SG instead of density in Kg/M^3 - per the Crane book, a typical value for a typical natural gas composition is 0.8034 Kg/M^3

2. I used 1.25 *10^-5 for the absolute viscosity

3. My mesh is coarse - 0.5mm tet mesh - it could be finer, but I don't have a lot of computer horsepower at present, or I would refine it.

4. The simulations done are close to your real world results - any differences are probably due to mesh density ( accuracy), and geometry differences between what was tested and what was modelled.

5. The updated Mathcad file with the density correction is attached to this post, I also added the Re number check.

Again - thanks for your efforts on this, I have found it useful to be able to compare text book predictions, with what CFD results are vs. your real world tests.

Regards
Robin

PS: I did get a sample file from Code Saturne Support of a compressibility example, I did not look at it yet in any great amount of detail - it uses a mesh file format that I am not familiar with, but you can look at the extra Fortran files that they used -
I will post it to the Wiki also in case anyone else wants to look at it.<br /><br />Post edited by: Robin Borland, at: 2009/04/22 17:16

Claus,

I like your tutorial but I found it a bit pain reading it in wiki. So I did a presentation out of it and I think this is more readable/printable

See attached.

thanks
