TERM PROJECT I
LAMINAR FLOW IN A CHANNEL AND PIPE
Introduction
The object of the project is to obtain a CFD solution for the laminar flow in a channel and a pipe
by using above parameters with FLUENT.
Vm (m/s) D (m) L (m) Re M N
1 1,6 120 800 80 40
Vm: Velocity inlet
D: Planar Height (Pipe Diameter)
L: Planar (Pipe) Length
Re: Reynolds Number
M: row number of mesh
N: Column number of mesh
Laminar Channel Flow Calculation
The geometry and mesh are created in ANSYS 12.1 which is the preprocessor for FLUENT, and
the mesh is read into FLUENT and solved for the flow solution.

Firstly, the analysis type is changed to 2D from 3D in order to solve channel and pipe flows from
Properties part before beginning to process geometry for a channel flow from FLUENT.
Secondly, the channel flow is drawn from geometry part. In details view, H1 is entered the flow
length 120 m and V2 is entered the flow height is 1.6 m.
Thirdly, the mesh is mapped with 80 rows and 40 columns from edge sizing parts and then the
channel flow is named as wall, symmetry, velocity inlet, and pressure outlet.
Fourthly, flow calculation data are initiated in setup section with double precision. Planar below
2D space from general part, is selected in order to specify a channel flow. Laminar is obtained
from models as a viscous model. In materials part, the air density and viscosity values are
changed to 1 kg/m3 and 0.002 kg/m-s. In the boundary conditions part, the velocity inlet
magnitude is specified 1 m/s and the other zones (pressure outlet, wall and symmetry) are
checked if they have right match. Therefore, calculation is run after all data entrances.

Laminar Pipe Flow Calculation
In order to calculate the pipe flow, there is an easy way that duplicates the channel flow part
from FLUENT. Mainly, most of processes are same with the channel flow.
Firstly, Axisymmetric is chosen instead of planar in 2D Space part of Setup section. Rests of all
processes from geometry to contour results are same with the channel flow.

Conclusion
Figure 11. Comparison_XY plots of Xvelocity versus Y at the pressure outlet
Figure 12. Comparison_XY plots of pressure versus X along the centerline
Above the figures, the dark lines show the pipe flow and white lines show the channel flow.
Therefore, we can easily see the pressure differences at the outlet and along the centerline
between the pipe and channel flows.
