Simulation Body moving in pipe with fluid
Posted: 03 May 2017, 22:32
Hello community,
relatively new to Elmer, I have looked at the examples and how everything is organized, documentation helped me, but still I am not very familiar,
for example how to do the following:
Setup is : You have a cylindric pipe, very long, this is filled with a fluid (viscosity is given)
and then a body (like a ball or a cube) is moved with constant velocity in the pipe
Of course the result is there will be turbulence due to two factors: frictional contact of body with fluid (might be laminar) and turbulences at the inner border of the pipe (maybe have to use a no-slip)
How to tell Elmer that it should have this body (prefereable in 3-D, otherwise 2D is okay) moving in the fluid?
Thank you very much :)
btw I prefer using the GUI
