THE PRINCIPLE OF FLUID MECHANICS AND THE NUMERICAL PROCEDURE IN CFD

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

Chapter two literature review explain
the various past projects that have been done about stimulation and calculation
involving laminar flow in a pipe using CFDANSYS FLUENT software package.

Chapter three give details on
calculation modeling where Reynolds experiment and procedure followed have been
analyzed.

Chapter four gives the details about
the building of Geometry, Launching of design modeler, start creation sketch on
XY plane with how to Dimensioning the rectangle. More so, the project discussed
the Creation of Mesh where the pipe is divided into 100 elements in the axial
direction and 5 elements in the radial direction with Edge sizing the
specifying the number of division.

Chapter five explained the procedure of
how to set the Boundary condition with the velocity inlet and centerline
boundary condition and pipe wall boundary condition.

Chapter six shows the Result presentation
of velocity vector at the outlet of the pipe with velocity magnitude contours
which give the rough surface at first instance but by increasing the number of
contour the result gives smooth surface at the inlet, are able to show the
pressure contours which is plotted on a chart so location was created along the
XY axis of the pipe outlet, where we further calculate for skin friction
coefficient.

Chapter seven discussed the conclusion
and recommendations made based on this project
