This investigation is an experiment in SimScale to investigate the relationship of 3 variables to the function of a single module in a channel. These variables vary from baseline values. The simulation project can be found at Cell Test
Spacing between cells in x
Baseline of 31.5mm
Varies by increments of 2mm
Investigated between 21.5mm and 41.5mm
Spacing between cells in y
Baseline of 31.5mm
Varies by increments of 2mm
Investigated between 21.5mm and 41.5mm
Inlet air velocity
Baseline of 1 m/s
Varies by increments of 0.5m/s
Investigated between 0.5m/s and 4m/s
Simulation Geometries
Naming Convention
Simulation Geometries refer to the available simulation geometries in the “Geometries” section of the SimScale project. A typical simulation geometry consists of a set of digits delimited by underscores, e.g. “31.5_29.5_Rd0”. The first digit, 31.5, represents the spacing in the x axis in mm, perpendicular to the air flow direction. The second digit, in this case 29.5, represents the spacing in the y axis in mm, parallel to the air flow direction. The third digit represents the number of rounds of processing the geometry has underwent, starting at a zero index.
Currently, all geometries have been processed one time. All simulations currently use Rd0.
