Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Process
CFD is performed/carried out by means of using the following methods
1. Mathematical Model
Mathematical CFD modeling of fluid analysis challenge to be solved expressed using Partial differential equations (PDE) eg. IBVP = PDE + IC + BC
2. Discretization Process
The Discretization process involves having the PDE system mathematically transformed into a set of algebraic equations. Numerical analysis methods based on discretization includes
1. Mesh Generation
This involves decomposition of the model into Cell elements and Time instants.
The Node elements can be either Structured or unstructured, Triangular or Quadrilateral.
2. Space Discretization
This is the approximation of spatial derivatives based on coupled ODE/DAE systems
3. Time Discretization
Time discretization is the approximation of temporal derivatives using Algebraic system Ax = b
3. CFD Simulation Software
Involves implementation of CFD Computer simulation software algorithm tools (Iterative solvers, Discrete function values, Pre- and postprocessing utilities) and Computer hardware to solve mathematical equations
The computing time taken for a CFD flow simulation depend on
4. Post-processing Visualization, Analysis of data
The human (simulation consultant) component input involved in this CFD simulation analysis involves stating the problems & inspection.
Post-processing of the CFD simulation results involves interpretation of the computed flow field to extract the desired information. This calls for knowledge and good judgment.
1. Calculation
This involves the calculation of Derived quantities (such as Streamfunction, vorticity) and Integral parameters (lift, drag, total mass)
2. Visualization
Visualization involves representation of numbers as visual images
3. Analysis
Using Statistical tools the simulation data is Systematically Analyzed to Verify the CFD model

What is Fluid Flow
Fluid flows can be classified into either the following flow types
Fluid Flow is happening all around us
It is a natural occurrence that happens in the physical environment in our day-to-day life.
• Natural meteorological phenomena (rain, wind, hurricanes, floods, fires)
• Use of HVAC system for indoor Air Heating, Air Ventilating circulation and Air Cooling of building interior environment, Automobile passenger compartments
Limitations of Computational Fluid Analysis Testing Methods
As a rule, CFD cannot fully replace the actual measurements completely but the amount of actual experimentation and the overall cost of testing can be significantly reduced.
The results of a CFD simulation are never designed to be a 100% representation because
1. Limitations of Mathematical modeling
The mathematical model of the analysis challenge at hand may be inadequate
The underlying assumptions mathematical model can also affect the quality of the simulation results
2. Approximate Discretization Process
The data of the input parameter may involve a certain level of guessing or inaccuracy due to the discretization process.
This can result in possible Errors due to Modeling, Discretization, Flow disturbances due to probes.
3. Constraints of Computer Processing Power
Accuracy and Speed of the simulation results is limited by the current computer processing power available
Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Some of the applications of CFD Numerical simulation analysis of fluid flow includes
This includes optimization of natural air flow to minimize of thermal hotspots in building indoor environment, such as Datacenter facility & Retail environments. This is done by using CFD thermal analysis to design the optimal layout configuration.

CFD Analysis of Condenser mixer
Objective:
Methodology:
- To enhance the heat transfer between two fluids one can either go for active techniques or passive techniques. Since this is a parallel flow here we have chosen a passive technique for the Thermal Simulation
- In this CAE Simulation problem, we have considered only conduction and convection mode of heat transfer. And to achieve uniform temperature distribution at the condenser outlet without changing the size of the system, we changed the orientation of the hot fluid pipe as well as we have changed the position to achieve the fully developed condition. But this modification doesn’t give a satisfactory solution. By keeping the projection and changing the roughness of the pipe we could augment the momentum transfer but this leads to additional pressure drop. So we have introduced some holes in the inner annulus pipe where the cold fluid is flowing. This enhanced the mixing but this configuration couldn’t be manufactured as easily.so still we are working on this project to get the optimum design.
- The total number of mesh [tetra elements] used in the CFD Simulation is approximately 80 lakhs. And We have chosen the standard K-ω model to capture the near-wall physics. And we run the CFD Simulation for steady cases because the mass flow rate is constant.

CFD Aerodynamic Analysis of UAV
- Aerodynamic Analysis and Airflow Simulation of a UAV with propeller ON/OFF conditions.
- Estimation of Aerodynamic Loads on UAV using Wind Load Analysis Simulation
- Ground Effect study on the UAV
Objective
- Aerodynamic Analysis includes Estimation of Aerodynamic performance characteristics at a given speed (Subsonic Speed of 30-40 m/s)
- Simulation of the UAV’s with Propellor ON/OFF conditions and also perform simulations on Propellor failure conditions.
- Estimation of the Aerodynamic loads on UAV which will be used for structural analysis.
- Perform static ground effect study on UAV for various ground heights and wing settings.
Approach
- Hybrid unstructured grids were generated for the UAV with Propeller. There are multiple zones involved in the grids namely Stationary zone and Rotational zones to simulate the propeller effects.
- For the UAV with Propeller, simulations performed using Ansys CFD Fluent Software, Roe scheme with second-order discretization in space was used. Gradients are calculated using the Green-Gauss based reconstruction procedure. S-A and SST Turbulence model was chosen. The rotating zone around the propeller was created with an optimum gap and it was assigned as a Rotational zone condition with a rotational velocity of Propeller. Also, it was simulated using rotational wall BC on the propeller.
- For the Propeller OFF condition, the Rotational velocity was specified as zero to impose the no rotation of propellers.
- For Static Ground Effect simulations performed using Ansys Mechanical CFD, Grids were generated for different heights and different pitching angles of -8degs to 18degs. These works involve combinations of grids that need to be generated. This process was completely automated to minimize the grid generation effort.
Conclusions/Observations
- The Aerodynamic analysis results obtained from the 3D fluid Simulation Software were compared with experimental data without the propeller case. For the Propeller case, It was compared with the analytical solutions available.
- It was observed that The optimum domain distance of the Rotating zone from the propeller tip plays an important role while defining the rotating zone boundary condition.
- At a higher angle of attack grid also plays an important role along with propeller rotation.
- The performance data generated from the Ansys Fluent CFX software were compared with analytical values.
- The data obtaining by changing the UAV pitch angle needs to be corrected at higher alpha.
- After the correction, The Data can be used as a reference for control groups by comparing it with and without ground data.
