Tutorial Level: Beginner Set up simple single-phase water management case SimLab for
CFD-nanoFluidX solution. The amount and distribution of
water on the windshield will be analyzed and velocity, and forces will be
computed.
The subject of this tutorial is to provide a basic model setup for water management
simulation using SimLab for CFD - nanoFluidX solution. The operations presented are universally
applicable across a large variety of water management cases. The model is referred
to as CX-1 Windshield.
A shower is created and positioned above the windshield, and water is poured at a
specific flow rate.Figure 1.
Model Description
The dimensions of the case are: 1.9 x 1.6 x 1.3 m. It is
discretized by 0.003 m resolution.
Domain is created.
Extractor is defined.
Particles are generated.
In this lesson you will learn how to:
Import SimLab Database
(*.slb)
Define SPH flow solution
Check material properties
Position shower
Define domain
Set gravity vector
Define inlet
Define extractor
Create SPH particles
Set solver settings
Set result request
Save SimLab database
(*.slb)
Run a data check
Run the simulation
Review results
