Workbench Tutorial – Minor Losses, Page 1 ANSYS Workbench Tutorial – Minor Losses Authors: Scott Richards, Keith Martin, and John M. Cimbala, Penn State University Latest revision: 11 June 2010 Introduction This tutorial provides instructions for meshing two internal flows and for analyzing both of them in FLUENT. The first flow is in a straight pipe, and the second flow is in a pipe of the same length and diameter, but with a 90°elbow. The pressure drop is calculated for both cases. The difference in pressure drop between the two cases is due solely to the elbow since the pipes are the same length; this is the so-called “minor loss”. In Part 1 of this tutorial, a geometry and mesh like the one shown to the right will be created. This tutorial shows how to use “inflation” to generate a fine grid near a wall, how to generate an unstructured quad mesh everywhere else, and how to sweep the mesh along the pipe. Part 1: Straight Pipe Set Workbench options for a new FLUENT project 1. This tutorial assumes that ANSYS Workbench is running but no projects are open. If it is not running, open it before proceeding to the next step. 2. Under View, make sure that “Toolbox”, “Toolbox Customization”, and “Project Schematic” each have a check mark next to them. Check marks can be inserted by placing the cursor over the menu item and LMB (click the left mouse button). Placing a check mark next to a menu item opens its window. If you close the window, the corresponding check mark will be removed from the View menu. 3. In Toolbox Customization, verify that “Fluid Flow (FLUENT)”
