Computation of Internal Fluid Flows in Channels Using the Package CFX-5

Abstract

The paper presents the results of computation of some simple internal flows of incompressible fluid with the software package CFX-5. In the previous paper of the author, the same flows were used for testing of another CFD software tool, FlowVision. The model equations used for this research are again the set of Reynolds and continuity equations and equations of the standard k - e turbulence model. The results of computation of a number of internal fluid flows in channels are presented and comparison with known experimental data is performed. Good correspondence of results was obtained both concerning the flow pattern and related integral values.
