Hey mate, you gotta set the reference values to calculate Cd and Cl. Cd in your result is 500+, which is impractical and unbelievable.

1.Can i ask you please about the value of pressure drop ? I mean which two pressure values to refer to ? (18:14) 2.Why does the pressure decrease too much along the y-axis ? (in my case it even goes to negative values) Many thanks in advance.

why the drag & lift coefficient so high? it is different if we obtain drag & lift force & use equation to obtain their coefficient

Hello. the lift is lower than the drag in my wind turbine blade simulation, shall i take account the rotating motion of the wind turbine when calculating the lift and drag? amazing video btw

In the setup, you need to change the reference values acording to your model, right ?? Otherwise it has the default values

On fluent, why did you not change the reference values? I'm getting different answer if I set it on default or change my values I was trying to confirm the drag coeff of teardrop shape. I used this exact method (except for viscous I used k epsilon - standard wall) and I got a drag coeff of 7 (yes 7 not 0.7 or 0.07). I tried to change the reference values (area and speed), I change the reference value speed from 1m/s to 11.2 m/s (same to my inlet boundary condition speed) and I got a drag coeff of 0.0518 (closer to theoretical drag of teardrop shape, 0.04-0.05). Am I doing this right?

@Darwin-bg1pm 2 жыл бұрын

Someone in the comment section also pointed out about you, not changing the reference value so I guess that was really a mistake of yours. I hope you put a pinned comment addressing that so future viewers who dont know it will not be getting wrong values. Other than that this video was really helpful especially the inflation part!

Good attempt, but you have neglected to input your reference values and therefore get an incorrect Drag Coefficient.

I am actually having a confusion regarding which reference area and reference length to provide in reference values. In my case, I am trying to calculate drag and lift coefficient for square building by rotating building in Design Modeler at every 15 degree interval from 0 to 90 degrees. So the doubt is that if enter the projected area in the direction of the wind in reference values, it would only be area for drag but what about the other projected area in the direction of lift? And regarding the "length" in reference values, if I'm not mistaken it should be the diagonalish dimension of the building in the wind direction..right !....but if say for example if I am analysing a building whose cross section reduces towards the top...then how to compute length? Would it be (top diagonalish length+bottom diagonalish length)/2 or only the bottom (or maximum) length in the direction of wind? Thank You

@sirdebster1900 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome video! But I have a question. You got Cd value around 500 for your simulation, but isn't this much higher than a typical coefficient of drag? I am having a similar issue with a simple cylinder in a wind tunnel simulation, in which a typical Cd value should be around 0.5, but I'm getting values around 16. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of what the Cd value measures in ANSYS Fluent? I am pretty new to ANSYS and CFD in general, so this wouldn't be surprising. Thanks.

@AdvancedEngineeringTutorials 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment. Yes, you are correct. If you check the comments it was discussed before. In this video I forgot to define the reference area in the reference values. If you define correct reference area according to fluent documentation (the effective area facing the flow) you will get better results. Hope this is helpful.

Negative pressure makes sense because of velocity increase on the edges. Like an airfoil. This is an external flow, pressure drop does not make sense to calculate and refer to, but for internal flows, it depends where you want to calculate pressure drop, you can create a plane on each point and calculate the Area average pressure and subtract them for pressure drop.

You have to give reference values like "Area" and "Length". He forgot to do that in the video. If you define the correct reference values, then the Cd and Cl values going to be correct.
