Hi Adam great effort. I believe this video is incomplete. As the red lines which you have shown in the flow trajectories are not because of heat are just because of bernoulli effect. I like your approach but just wanted to inform you to complete the toturial. Thanks.
Hi this isn't a question that exactly pertains to your video but do you know if in solidworks I could make a simulation where a fluid (oil in my case) flows through a valve and do a study on the temperature of the oil as it is forced through the valve? Thank you for the video by the way, it was helpful
When I create a solid body to encapsulate the fan, solidworks is treating it as a wall and the air does not flow. Tried it exactly how you made it a rotating region and that does not do anything. How did you create that body? Is it attached to the fan? Is it a separate part you added in just this assembly? Is it added as an assembly on the fan blade? I feel like I must be missing something and ALL videos have this region premade so I am curious as to how you are actually MAKING the region
This was created on an educational version of the software at my University. It included the simulation package. I don't think the student edition has the simulation package.
FYI: The student edition pretty much contains every add-in contained in the official SW packages, including Simulation Standard+Professional+Premium, Flow Simulation (including the HVAC and Electronics Cooling packages), and others... Just don't ever use it for commercial work; it is very easy to tell if any files were created or saved in the EDU version, and any and all commercial work (including work done by students on internships) is not allowed using an EDU version. Ignore this at your own peril; the Dassault legal team will make you regret it if they discover it.
Thanks for this video. I actually followed step my step instruction of your video. It gives me flow direction but it's like 0 velocity. Any reason why?
I was actually thinking about putting fins INSIDE our air compressor tank to help cool the air. However, if I remember correctly from heat and mass transfer (a LONG time ago), the fins really need to be on the OUTSIDE (where there is a temperature differential) to have an effect. Is this analogous to your tube? Do the fins INSIDE your tube do anything to change the temperature of the airflow? Would be interested to know results of temperature simulation when they are available.
fins inside will cool the air only if the fins are somehow cold. In your case, unless your compressor is somehow cold, like you put ice on it or something, air will not be cool. It might actually come out warmer.
I can see the flow analysis here, but I'm wondering is there a possibility to add thermal analysis so we can simulate the actual heat flow taking off from the sink?
+KISEKI Absolutely... You need to make sure the materials and such are defined, and then add a thermal load (flux, or watts) to a surface or volume... The surface under the heat sink would make sense if it's a processor or something similar.
i put a hole on a curved surface at an angle. i'm trying to do the flow simulation but it shows me that it is not watertight. so i put lids on one end but since the other end is curved i'm not able to select the face for closing the lids. any help?
+Santhosh Kumar Make a plane / model a small body yourself for the lid. Automatic lid creation will not work in 100% of instances and in that case any small body that plugs the hole will work.
Sorry to be a bugger, but I noticed that when you ran the simulation you got a warning ~3:40 in the video you have a "vortex condition" at the boundary opening. That warning in general means the computational domain is not large enough to compute the flow properly and the results are not good.
grapalermo exactly. The best would be to compute first the fan flow, and use the flow as source for the cooling device. And ALWAYS think on simetries to save computing time!

hi adam i got the problem and now it is solved thank for this video it was really very help[ful
very concise and useful. Thanks
nice Video . It helped me a lot.
Amazing dude
Nicely done Adam. Happy to see you are becoming popular! Armando
Thank you Boss!! This is nice VDO.
Thank you
nice video
+raj Thanks!

hey i have small query in above case if i use fan as blower ...will result remain same ?
Face is out of the computational domain.
I know the video is two years old but how do you make the shell transparent?
hai..how did you make the fan rotate?
How to simulate a waterwheel rotation without prescribing it's rotational speed? Like let it start moving due to river flow. Thanks.

hi dear, how can i get that drawing to use it for testing?
how the soild part of the fan disappear

Nice vidéo. How you get the fan? Did you build it or just dowload?

+KISEKI Absolutely... You need to make sure the materials and such are defined, and then add a thermal load (flux, or watts) to a surface or volume... The surface under the heat sink would make sense if it's a processor or something similar.
Peter Blais how do you apply a thermal load?

do you need to but the flow simulation for solid for this simulation? Im using student edition

hi adam , the component in been not selected in rotating region command any idea
GUNJAN KADAM how did you fix this?
"Heat Hink" lol
Can u please share the cad files
คือมันต้องออกแบบช่องทางอากาศเข้าให้อากาศเดินทางความเร็วเหนือเสียงเกิดการชนกัน
Can I have your mail add
