Sir, I have question, what about gravity when our channel bottom surface is inclined . At that time the gravity will act vertically, while it should act as perpendicular to the surface
Hello sir, thank you kindly for the teaching. I'm wondering, how can I extract information of wave height at particular distance from the simulation? Thank you in advance
Thank you for your great tutorial. I do all of the instructions like you and get a great result of volume fraction of water and saw the waves in the domain. But the contour of velocity is not great. The velocity at the outlet is very large at air/water interface and at the bottom of the boundary, there is a negative velocity. Negative velocity at the free surface and at the bottom of the domain is acceptable due to the wave and its effect. But the velocities at the outlet boundary are wrong before the wave or its effect arrives at the outlet. I use none wave to test the effect of the other parameters but the velocity is incorrect as well. I use the timeStep as 0.01 as you said in the video and I set the max iteration as 100 per time step but in some time steps, the continuity residual doesn't converge under the 1e-3. What should I do? I want to simulate an oil leakage from a pipe in a 2d scheme but there is a negative velocity like this problem. I think that If you run your problem for more time steps(e.g. 10000 time steps), the result may be incorrect.
sir can you please add design of rectangular tank and which solution method is using. while I running it the reversible flow comming and #f error is comming. can you please give suggestions for clear these errors
Thanks for this tutorial, sir. I was wondering how could you initialize the conditions for a velocity inlet? Based on the Ansys Fluent Guide, only mass flow inlet and pressure inlet could have this initialization. I also have a velocity inlet and during initialization, Fluent came up with an error that a velocity inlet is invalid.
Sir we are doing project on, wave attenuation due to submerged breakwater using ansys fluent...we just have to put one structure in between this channel...so our main aim is to reduce the wave height and wave velocity...so to calculate this height and velocity of wave, some probe has to put..how to put this probe sir... please help
Thanks for the tutorial sir...Can you please suggest....what conditions should i give to make a body float on the ocean?? e.g. a boat floating due to ocean currents
Dear Sir, Please provide me suggestions. I am doing study focusing on pressure and velocity variation in u/s and d/s of a weir across river using 2D fluent model. The weir is 14.6 m length from u/s to d/s and 9.0 m height. I have taken domain size of total length 414.6 m (300 m u/s, 14.6 m weir and 100 m d/s). The height of domain is 40 m. For boundary conditions, inlet is assigned as velocity inlet, outlet as pressure outlet and free surface as pressure outlet. I assigned water as primary phase and air as secondary. The depth of water at inlet is 11.5 m. Is same depth should assign at outlet? Moreover, I could not refine my mesh than element size less 0.4 m. Reverse flow occurring in many cells during solution. Also I have confusions with time steps and time step size.
If we include bed slope then free water surface level would be different than 0.2 at different locations. How we can consider that? I didn't get what is driving force in this problem if slope is not considered?
thank u sir @Tanmay Agrawal for this awesome tutorial ..i hope this tutorial will help to solve my final year project .. sir i have a question ..how can i vary water level in open channel and find different flowrate values against it ?
Hi Tanmay, Thanks for the video, its content is invaluable. Im currently working on a simulation which involves the flow of a river with a mesh blocking the whole river. Im having some trouble with the the setup section. The water is only flowing at 0.23m/s and I wish to model it without any waves as theres very little in reality on a calm day, so when selecting multiphase flow do I still choose the 'open channel wave BC' condition as well? Or do I tick both options and for the inlet wave multiphase boundary conditions choose none as the 'Wave BC Options' (instead of something like gravity waves). Also, do all multiphase simulations have to be transient, can it not be steadystate as in my case there is very little variation with time. Thank you :)
Hi, Sorry for the delayed reply. As far as I know, open channel wave BC is used to define the kind of waves in the setup and you can use the same tool to initiate very small waves. It should still be alright with the physics of your problem. Mostly problems are transient because of the interaction between different phases but some problems could achieve steady state, no doubt about that.
I would try and use a code that is dedicated to hydraulic flows as these give all the correct options (eg for hydrograph inputs) for setting up such cases
What is the value for ''monitor check convergence absolute criteria'' that is Residual Monitor.Also what is the solution methods and spatial discretization you used
i have designed a triangular labyrinth weir in an open channel in a 3d geometry. For open channel, i have used enclosure tool around weir. i am unable to simulate the flow as i dont have much knowledge about setup part. please help

Sir I really appreciate the tutorial . I tried following the exact same procedure but while running calculations I keep getting oscillating residuals graph even after 1 hour (25000 iterations) . I also tried changing the geometry to smaller dimensions but still the same problem. Could you please help me with this ?

But its use local or global coordinat by default ? ).and basicly you have 0.2m high water constant from inlet to outlet right?, But imagine if your open canal is slope, did i just need set high water using free surface level on inlet only or anyting else, my problem is water level on inlet basicly

sir iam working on a submarine projectt and i want to make the drowning simulations , can you help me with the procedure and the dynamic mesh selection
For a closed channel, the top surface has to be given as wall. You can not use the open channel wave BC then and have to manually assign the flow velocities as a function.
Thank you sir for the useful tutorial. sir i have a problem iam doing my masters and i have to run 3d model. my project is on energy dissipation downstream of a piano key weir . always i run the model it give me floating error. can you help me please sir. Respect sikandar from Afghanistan. Mtech in (IIT roorkee)
I can't remember on the top of head but there is a mass flow inlet boundary condition. Use that instead of velocity inlet and you should be good to go.
Solving for the gas phase in this simulation is such an unnecessary expense of resource. Just solve for the liquid phase as a one fluid VOF and treat the gas as a fixed pressure.

How can we input discharge in inlet rather than velocity?
I can't remember on the top of head but there is a mass flow inlet boundary condition. Use that instead of velocity inlet and you should be good to go.
If you have hydrograph data this is a standard input format in (other) 3D hydraulics CFD tools
Solving for the gas phase in this simulation is such an unnecessary expense of resource. Just solve for the liquid phase as a one fluid VOF and treat the gas as a fixed pressure.
How can I add a sand bed at the bottom of this section and how do assign sand properties like the mean particle size of 0.85 mm.
I believe you can use the patch function to do that. Not sure about particle size, perhaps check out the "granular" tab in multiphase section.
