AIM. To solve the Channel flow simulation using CONVERGE CFD
I.THEORY
Channel flow is an internal flow in which the confining walls change the hydrodynamic structure of the flow from an arbitrary state at the channel inlet to a certain state at the outlet. The simplest illustration of internal flow is a laminar flow in a circular tube, while a turbulent flow in the rotor of a centrifugal compressor is an example of the most intricately shaped internal flow. Engineering devices employ channels with cross-sections of various geometrical shapes.
In this project, Converge Studio was used to establish a working idea of airflow simulation through a channel flow under certain parameters, which will be elaborated systematically in this report.
ll. OBJECTIVE
lll. PROCEDURE
GEOMETRY:
BOUNDARY FLAGGING:
The boundaries are flagged. The converge studio basically uses triangular blocks to create geometry. So by selecting the triangles boundaries are Flagged
CASE SETUP:
In Run Parameters- two main things to be considered
(a). Select the following solver settings.
For Front2D and Back2D Boundary Type is TWO_D
lV. RESULTS
1. Grid Size = 2e-4
2. Grid Size = 1.5e-04
3. Grid Size 1.0e-04
V. OBSERVATION:
Vl. CONCLUSION:
The channel flow simulation using Converge CFD is performed. With different mesh sizes, accurate results are obtained.

Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge
AIM:- Calculate the Wheel Arch gap at required points and check whether the car passes the European standard. WHEEL ARCH: The wheel arch is the semicircular part positioned above the wheel of a vehicle. The most important body change was that the front wheel arch was cut higher into the fender. Corrosion…

Section Modulus calculation and optimization
Aim To calculate section modulus of hood and optimize the design to have improved section modulus. Section modulus:- Section modulus is a direct measure of a strength of any cross sectional area of an object about an reference axis. The formula of section modulus is given by, S=I / Y Where,I = Moment of inertia (mm^4)Y…

Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly
Aim/Objective : To do surface wrap over assembled parts (engine,transmission and gear box) Target length for Wrap = 3mm Procedure : First the model is loaded on to ANSA Unwanted surface are deleted without damaging the outer shape of the geometries. Single cons are resolved mainly here as it would affect negetively on…
