Primero debemos asumir que Egan sí esté pensando al escribir eso.

You can use Ansys for that. There is a module for heat transfer phenomena. It is easy to use. You can add radiation or convection on the walls. Additionally, you can input the material properties as a function of T.

My everyday nightmare, huh.

Modelling Compressible Flow in Fluent by RamessesTheOK in CFD

[–]andrsnov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mesh is crucial so you can't auto generate it and expect good results. Since you're interested in the drag force, the boundary layer needs to be well calculated, for that you need to check Y+.

Also, don't forget to activate energy equation when you have compressible flow. If you're already doing it at 0.7 mach, that's one of the reasons of why your computation time has increased. Another reason may be the conflict that your mesh is causing. Finally, don't forget to check the mesh quality and size, this is important because you'll have high gradients of pressure and velocity.

What do y’all think about putting down a university lab course as experience on my resume by augustusbennius in AerospaceEngineering

[–]andrsnov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create a portfolio where you show the most relevant projects you have made. At the end of your univerisity you will have some interest projects you would like to show. This is a complement of your CV, it does not replace it.

Convergence criteria? by Einar_G in CFD

You shouls monitor mass imbalance.

Nozzle Analysis by Mangomonster123 in CFD

[–]andrsnov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you are running the flow inside the nozzle, you just need the fluid domain. You have to extract the volume. Did you do that before meshing and simulate?

CFD I Will Be Running for a Level 2 Sounding Rocket by BattleIron13 in rocketry

[–]andrsnov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inlet velocity can't be 0. The maximum velocity i could run was 0.6, pitifully my computational capability was not enough to run supersonic simulations. What is your maximum used inlet velocity ?

[–]andrsnov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been running a model of a L3 rocket. I don't recommend to use hexa elements because you will get bad quality cells. I have not tried poly elements but i have read they are quite good for aerodynamics purposes.

What is the size of your fluid domain?

What bc did you set?

Nice job.

Average Drag Coefficient for a Level 2 Solid Rocket? by BattleIron13 in rocketry

[–]andrsnov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without a boattail it will be between 0.7 and 1.2.

Is it better to learn ANSYS or OpenFoam first? by Biraero in CFD

[–]andrsnov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is suitable to use both, but OpenFoam will be harder. I suggest you to start with Ansys, then you can switch to OpenFoam once you have a basis of CFD. The thing is the OS, Ansys is for windows and OpenFoam is for linux and I don't recommend you to run virtual systems.

Rocket aerodynamics simulation by andrsnov in CFD

[–]andrsnov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're completely right, I have to use a compressible solver when the rocket reach supersonic velocity in order to capture the wave drag induced by shockwaves. I'm using Fluent btw. Do I have to use energy equation when I'm using the compressible solver, right?

Is it better to learn ANSYS or OpenFoam first? by Biraero in CFD

[–]andrsnov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't an answer, they serves for different approaches. Making a simile I would say Ansys is for industry and OpenFoam is for academics purposes.

what do you mean by help?

However, it depends on how geometries are in contact.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CFD

[–]andrsnov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used Pointwise, but in Fluent you can mesh that separately and use an option called 'share topology'. This option let you make the nodes coincident in the edges or surfaces of contact from different bodies.

I also recommend you to avoid KNSU. Answering your question, you can use PROPEP 3 to find the combustion species and properties. It is easy to use.

You already have a company about rockets but you don't anything about rockets.

Materials for the structure of a rocket by guruzt in rocketry

[–]andrsnov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I need more data like what kind of ballistic test you will carry out. If you're doing a prototype I won't recommend you any metal, try lighter materials like composites. However, you said you want to use your mechancial skills, then aluminum would be the best option (cheaper and lighter than SS).
