Software Tool - CFD-CADalyzer

This tutorial is uses the same geometry as CVD Chamber Mixing, but focuses on heat transfer with radiation. Radiation plays an important role within confined geometries where radiative surface properties vary greatly. In this modeling effort, we concentrate on obtaining the temperature distribution inside and on the walls of the chamber when a constant heat flux of 3000 W/m2 is generated at the lower surface of the pedestal.

The goal of this tutorial is to obtain the flow field resulting from the interaction of the two merging streams as well as the species spatial concentration inside the geometry.

The purpose of this tutorial is to show how to setup and post-process a parametric study involving geometric parameters. The example used for this tutorial is the case of a finned heat exchanger in which the fin thickness will be varied. The goal is to determine the fin thickness that result in the lowest temperature on the model.

This tutorial also shows how CFD-CADalyzer can be interfaced with CAD packages such as Autodesk Inventor, IronCAD, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, or ProE.

This tutorial presents a heat transfer study in realistic "shell and tube" heat exchanger. The geometry is imported in CAD file format, while the mesh generation, solver setup and post-processing (visualization of results) are performed with CADalyzer.

The flow path inside a sprinkler is studied in this tutorial. Turbulence is accounted for by using the K-Epsilon model to accurately predict the flowfield.

This tutorial presents an analysis of a cross-flow phenomenon of a small pipe intersecting a large pipe, which is typical of plumbing applications. The geometry is based on a CAD model that is directly imported in CADalyzer. After defining the correct flow computational domain, appropriate inlet and outlet boundary conditions will be prescribed. The location of the maximum velocity resulting from this cross-flow will be identified, and flow streamlines from the small pipe into the large pipe will be plotted.
