1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION

• To set a procedure to setup Venturi Effect testing on a sphere and a slanted cylinder in ANSYS Workbench
  • This follows the testing of a slanted cylinder in a 1 mm thick wall.

2. Design Modeler (Sphere)

• Open a new project in Workbench
• Place a Fluent analysis system and DCLK on the Geometry cell to open Design Modeler

 

• Create > Primitives > Cylinder

Generate (F5)

• Create > Primitives > Box

This will be the region where still air is. Decide appropriate dimensions depending on the simulation.

Generate (F5)

• Create > Primitives > Box

This will be the region where the air flows.

Generate (F5)

• Create > Body Transformation > Rotate
  • Bodies = Select the cylinder (in the graphics window or Tree Outline)
  • Axis Selection = click on YZPlane in Tree Outline
  • Make sure the arrow is in the right direction and click Apply
  • Angle = 45 (For this case)
• Create > Boolean
  • Operation = Unite
  • Tool Bodies = select all the primitives created
  • Generate (F5)
• Click on the newly created body in Tree Outline and change its Fluid/Solid to Fluid
• Final result should look like this:
