Thrombosis risk assesment with FEATool Multiphysics CFD simulation using PIV data
The following research, conducted by Borowski F., Kaule S., and colleagues concerns a type of heart valve that can be inserted without open-heart surgery (transcatheter aortic valve replacement TAVR). The researchers wanted to see if the way the valve is inserted affects how well blood flows through it, specifically …
AI and Deep Learning CFD Model for Flow Prediction
In a series of publications Prof. Thi-Thu-Huong Le, Hoyeun Kang, and colleagues from Pusan National University (PNU) in Korea, have successfully developed a new deep learning (DL) CFD methodology for flow prediction using FEATool Multiphysics with AI and machine learning. Although traditional Computational Fluid …
Supersonic Turbulent Flow Past a Prism
This tutorial example sets up and solves supersonic compressible flow around a triangular prism, with viscous effects and turbulence using the OpenFOAM solver. The inflow is supersonic at 650 m/s causing shock waves to form when the flow field impacts the prism, and also secondary waves following the trailing edges and …
Supersonic Flow Past a Wedge
This verification test case studies steady inviscid compressible flow past a wedge at an incident angle of 15 degrees. As the supersonic flow (Ma = 2.5) hits the wedge a sharp oblique shock wave is formed, resulting in a reduced downstream flow velocity. The simulation uses the inviscid compressible Euler equations to …
ADRANOS simulation framework using FEATool Multiphysics
ADRANOS (short for Advanced Divertor paRametric Analysis for coolaNt Operating Scenarios) is a specialized MATLAB based simulation tool, developer by researchers at the Department of Engineering of the University of Palermo, to assess steady-state performance diverter cooling circuits in fusion reactor applications. …
Non-Newtonian Flow in an Extrusion Die
This example models flow of a polymer through an extrusion die with two outlets. This type of flow can for example be found in manufacturing processes of plastic parts. The polymer is assumed to be non-Newtonian, and can be modeled with a shear thinning Bird-Carreau viscosity model. The die is also assumed to be …
Electro-Osmotic Flow
This multiphysics example examines microfluidic flow and coupled mass transport due to electroosmosis in a channel with a T-shaped junction. With application of an electric field in a micro channel a flow effect is induced along the walls due to chemical reactions between the liquid and the wall material. This effect …
Multi-Simulation Heat Exchanger
This tutorial model illustrates how one can couple the OpenFOAM CFD solver with the FEATool Multiphysics FEA solver. In the model a stream of cool air is heated while flowing through a tube and fin heat exchanger. Due to several symmetry planes only a small section of the full heat exchanger geometry actually needs to …
Turbulent Channel Flow
Simulation of stationary and incompressible turbulent flow between two parallel flat plates at Reynolds number 42800. A fully developed turbulent velocity profile is formed at the outflow boundary which can be compared to experimental results (Laufer, J. 1950). This example uses both the built-in algebraic mixing …
