Component CFD
Focused flow studies that isolate component physics, boundary conditions, wake behaviour, and solver limits.
Comparative Analysis of Fluent Results Against Exact Solutions, Meshes, and Experimental DataVerifying Fluent pipe flow calculations against the Poiseuille exact solution, followed by mesh, domain, and Re=0.1–20 sweeps for flow past a cylinder compared with experimental data.
Simulating the Kármán Vortex Street in FluentIn this CFD coursework, we investigated two regimes of flow past a cylinder: a steady wake at Re=40 and unsteady vortex shedding at Re=150. I set up two Fluent cases, triggered the vortex street via an intentional velocity patch perturbation, and recorded lift and drag histories.
