Fluid #2: Velocity analysis of fluid flow in a channel USING FLOTRAN Introduction: In this example you will model fluid flow in a channel Physical Problem: Compute and plot the velocity distribution within the elbow
Assume that the flow is uniform at both the inlet and the outlet sections and that the elbow has uniform depth
Problem Description: The channel has dimensions as shown in the figure The flow velocity as the inlet is 10 cm/s Use the continuity equation to compute the flow velocity at exit Objective: To plot the velocity profile in the channel To plot the velocity profile across the elbow You are required to hand in print outs for the above Figure: IMPORTANT: Convert all dimensions and forces into SI units STARTING ANSYS Click on ANSYS 6
